'Killing us with football' - Ian Wright hails 'different level' Liverpool duo after Arsenal Carabao Cup win

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright praised Trent Alexandar-Arnold and Diogo Jota for their performance for Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

Jota's brace proved to be the difference as Jurgen Klopp's Reds progressed to the final of the competition with a 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium.

The Portuguese was named man of the match after two sublime finishes while Alexander-Arnold's overall play had him a close second to winning the accolade.

The England international assisted both of Jota's goals, with his assist for the second of them sublime.

And taking to social media, Wright praised the Liverpool duo against his old club.

"Jota and Trent have been a different level. Killing us with football," the Gunners legend wrote on Twitter.

Liverpool will play Chelsea in the final at Wembley Stadium as they chase a record-breaking ninth League Cup.

The Reds are currently level with Manchester City on eight victories.

The final against Chelsea takes place on Sunday, February 27.
