Harvey Elliott could face FA sanction due to what happened after Chelsea Carabao Cup win

The FA are looking to speak to Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott following Chelsea's Carabao Cup final defeat.

The Blues lost on 11-10 on penalties after a 0-0 draw which saw four goals ruled out for offside.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga missed the deciding spot-kick, handing the Reds the trophy.

Elliott came on as a second-half substitute but was initially not named in Liverpool's matchday squad.

An injury to Thiago in the warm-up meant the teenager had to be named as a substitute and came off the bench in the final 10 minutes.

As the Merseyside club were celebrating, Elliott was seen and pictured on the Wembley Stadium pitch holding a red flare.

The English FA have since been notified of the situation and will be seeking comment from the 18-year-old.

There has been no comment from manager Jurgen Klopp but the German could speak when he faces the media on Tuesday ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup tie 24 hours later.
