Jürgen Klopp paid tribute to his “world-class” match-winner Diogo Jota after Liverpool swept aside Arsenal and made history by reaching their 13th League Cup final.
Klopp will lead his team out against Chelsea at Wembley on 27 February with Liverpool aiming to win the trophy for a record ninth time after Jota’s two goals saw off Mikel Arteta’s side, who once again finished the game with 10 men. Thomas Partey was dismissed late in the game for a high tackle on Fabinho and though the game was already lost by that point, it was Arsenal’s sixth red card of the season and their third already in 2022.
