Jurgen Klopp reveals what gave Liverpool the edge over Chelsea in FA Cup final penalty shootout

Jurgen Klopp admitted that penalty shootouts were a lottery but revealed that working with company Neuro11 may have given his side the edge in both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup finals.

The Liverpool boss paid tribute to both his team and Chelsea for their performances at Wembley as they reached their 60th and 61st games of the season, respectively. In a mirror of the clash in February, spot kicks were needed once again to separate the sides, with the scores goalless after 120 minutes.

Sudden death was also needed once again, and though the FA Cup final did not require goalkeepers to step up on this occasion, it wasn't until each side's seventh penalty that the result was confirmed. Kostas Tsimikas kept his cool to punish Mason Mount's miss to leave the Cobham product crestfallen on the hallowed turf.
