Kostas Tsimikas was Liverpool 's unlikely hero in the shoot-out as the Reds beat Chelsea on penalties again.
Jurgen Klopp's side had already done it once this season to the Blues, in the Carabao Cup final. And they did it again in the FA Cup final when Tsimikas came on to score the winning penalty at Wembley after Alisson had saved from Mason Mount.
Just like the Carabao Cup Final, neither side could find a breakthrough in normal time or extra time despite a host of chances. Chelsea hit the woodwork. Liverpool hit it twice. And also lost key men Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk to injuries. But, just like they did in February, the two teams went to a shootout and the game was decided from the spot.
