'Klopp's kids beat Chelsea's billion-pound bottle-jobs': Pundits react to Liverpool's Carabao Cup triumph

Plenty might have expected a Liverpool love-in from Jamie Carragher after his beloved Reds' dramatic Carabao Cup final triumph over Chelsea.

But it was his sparring rival Gary Neville who put his Manchester United allegiances firmly to one side, lauding Liverpool - and criticising the beaten Blues.

"Klopp's kids against the blue billion-pound bottle-jobs," remarked the former England full-back on Sky Sports.

"This is Klopp's last few months [as Liverpool boss], but it will be as proud a moment as he's had."

Virgil van Dijk's header two minutes from the end of extra time settled a rollercoaster Wembley final as an injury-hit and youthful Liverpool lifted a record-extending 10th League Cup.
