Liverpool won the League Cup by beating Chelsea 1-0 through a late extra-time goal from Captain Virgil van Dijk, after a fierce end-to-end battle at Wembley on Sunday.

Van Dijk rose to meet a corner in the 118th minute and nodded home in front of cheering Liverpool fans.

It was the third Cup victory for Juergen Klopp’s Liverpool over Chelsea in two years, the Reds winning the League and FA Cups in 2022 after goalless draws and penalty shootouts.
