Liverpool win Carabao after Van Dijk’s great last-minute goal.

Written by on February 26, 2024

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk headed the winner deep into extra time as Jurgen Klopp’s massively depleted side beat Chelsea 1-0 to claim a record-extending 10th Carabao Cup.

The Dutch defender, who controversially had another header ruled out at the same end in the second half after VAR intervention, rose above Mykhailo Mudryk to nod in Kostas Tsimikas’ corner in the 118th minute.

It was no more than the Netherlands international, lifting his first trophy as Liverpool captain, deserved after a monumental performance in defence in a win which seemed against the odds for long periods.

Klopp became the third Liverpool manager to win the trophy more than once as his long goodbye to his departure at the end of the season began with the first of a potential four pieces of silverware.

But for the opposite number, Mauricio Pochettinohis long wait for an English domestic trophy continues.

After their epic win, their coach Jurgen Klopp happily joined them to sing their club anthem “ You’ll Never Walk Alone”.

Pushing aside his colleagues, Klopp went towards the fans assembled in Wembley Stadium to encourage them to sing the iconic anthem.
