LIVE: Liverpool WIN the Carabao Cup after dramatic 22-PENALTY shootout against Chelsea... with Kepa the ONLY player to miss after he had been brought on by Thomas Tuchel late in extra-time

Thomas Tuchel made one mistake. He brought on Chelsea’s specialist penalty goalkeeper.

Not only did Kepa Arrizabalaga not save one of Liverpool’s 11 efforts from the spot – the entire team put one past him – he then sent his own spot-kick, the 22nd of the match, into orbit halfway up the Liverpool end. And so Jurgen Klopp and his players landed the first domestic trophy of the season, after vone of the finest goalless draws it is possible to have witnessed, which Chelsea shaded on good scoring chances, but could not finish.

Mason Mount missed two sitters, Christian Pulisic one and there were four goals disallowed – three for Chelsea, one for Liverpool.
