Southampton boss Claude Puel feels his side deserved their place in the EFL Cup final following their 2-0 aggregate victory over Liverpool.
Saints took a 1-0 advantage going into the second-leg at Anfield and despite heavy pressure from the hosts, Shane Long struck in stoppage-time to seal their first trip to Wembley since winning the Football League Trophy in 2010.
Saints have only reached the EFL Cup final once in their 131-year history when they lost to Manchester United in 1979 and could face the Red Devils again if they come through their semifinal against Hull on Thursday.
