Liverpool win dramatic League Cup final after Tuchel’s Kepa gamble backfires

The two heavyweights could not be separated in an enthralling showpiece full of free-flowing attacking football and chances with four goals chalked off for offside.

After 21 successful penalties the final was decided when Chelsea's substitute keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga ballooned his effort over the crossbar.

Victory for Liverpool marked the first domestic Cup triumph for their German manager Juergen Klopp.
