Chelsea penalty tactic in FA Cup final failed as post deleted after Liverpool win

Not for the first time during the 2021/22 campaign, Liverpool defeated Chelsea in a cup final courtesy of a penalty shootout.

Jurgen Klopp's side clinched the Carabao Cup at the end of February after a dramatic 11-10 shootout win, which resulted in Kepa Arrizabalga blazing over the bar to hand the Reds the win. On this occasion, Cesar Azpilicueta and Mason Mount could not convert as Liverpool secured a second trophy at the expense of the Londoners.

Sadio Mane was the only Liverpool player unable to convert from 12 yards, though this mattered little in the end as Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas made no mistake following the Senegalese star seeing his effort saved by his international team-mate Edouard Mendy.
