    The goal came deep in added time, with Jurgen Klopp having to rely heavily on his youthful bench.
    And Neville said: “Klopp’s kids against the blue billion pound bottle jobs.” As he summed up the moment.
    Liverpool arrived in the final with a heavily depleted squad – with 10 first teamers missing with injury.
    And things went from bad to worse when Ryan Gravenberch was stretchered off in the first-half.

    And a combination of injury and tiredness saw him call on the youth on his bench extensively.
    Bobby Clark, James McConnell, Jayden Danns and Jarell Quansah were all called upon over the course of 120 minutes.
    Chelsea, meanwhile, faltered in extra-time, despite having a squad that has had £1billion spent on it since Todd Boehly took over.
    And fans were hailing Neville’s ability to say it as he saw it as a result.

    Liverpool player ratings: Virgil van Dijk leads by example with Carabao Cup final winner as Konate off the pace

    CAPTAIN, leader, legend. That is how Liverpool fans must feel about Virgil van Dijk after he won the Carabao Cup final by heading home the winner against Chelsea.

    Here’s how the teams fared on paper
    Jurgen Klopp has got his farewell parade off in style with Liverpool’s 10th League Cup win.
    Like the 2022 final between the two sides, the game somehow ended 0-0 after 90 minutes.
    However, moments before the final whistle of extra time which would have sent the teams to another penalty shootout, Van Dijk rose highest to nod home a winner.
    See how SunSport’s Tom Barclay rated the Reds.

    Caoimhin Kelleher – 8

    Alisson’s deputy performed well in the injured Brazilian’s absence, most notably when he denied Cole Palmer from point blank-range on 21 minutes.
    Coolly prevented Conor Gallagher from scoring with five minutes to go when the Chelsea man had been sent clean through, and then Palmer and Christopher Nkunku in stoppage time.
    Conor Bradley – 7
    Another eye-catching display from the youngster, who started the game as a hybrid right-back and then moved to right wing when Ryan Gravenberch went off.
    Had a decent effort blocked by Levi Colwill on half-time – but was booked for his role in a shoving match with Ben Chilwell.

    Ibrahima Konate – 6
    Nicolas Jackson may have his critics but his jet-heeled pace left Konate on his heels for what had looked like the opener when the Chelsea striker squared for Raheem Sterling, only for the offside flag to bail the Reds out.
    Booked.
    Virgil van Dijk – 9

    The relative old-timer among all the kids came up trumps with two minutes of extra time to go, heading home Kostas Tsimikas’ corner.
    The Dutchman thought he had done it an hour earlier when heading in Andy Robertson’s free-kick, only to see it ruled out via one of the rarer VAR decisions as blocker Wataru Endo was deemed offside. Led his young team with authority and was a worthy match winner.
    Andy Robertson – 8
    Trent Alexander-Arnold’s creativity has been the talk of the Liverpool full-backs this season – but Robertson still has a great delivery in his locker.
    Cody Gakpo hit the post from his cross in the first half, before Van Dijk’s Robertson-assisted goal was ruled out after the break. Also made an excellent intervention to nip in front of Gallagher.

    Ryan Gravenberch – 6
    The Dutchman’s game was ended midway through the first half when former Liverpool target Moises Caicedo trod on his ankle.
    Gravenberch went off on a stretcher, becoming the Reds’ 11th injury victim, yet a foul was not even given – much to Klopp’s fury.
    Wataru Endo – 7
    Energetic game from the Japan star, which included putting his body on the line to deny Jackson on the rebound after Kelleher had repelled Palmer.
    Was the unfortunate man deemed to be offside and blocking Colwill for Van Dijk’s disallowed goal.
    Alexis Mac Allister – 7
    His pressing set the tone for Klopp’s men and was not afraid to go in hard.
    Stung Djordje Petrovic’s fingertips with an early blast from range. Booked.
    Harvey Elliott – 6
    Moved from right wing to centre-midfield after Gravenberch came off and then back to right wing as the game went the distance.
    Had a volley beaten away after the break and then fired another into the side netting in extra time. 6
    Cody Gakpo – 7
    Came so close to an opener when heading Robertson’s cross against the foot of the post on 34 minutes.
    If that was unlucky, he should have done better when he skied a shot inside the box in the last 20.
    Luis Diaz – 7
    Luis Diaz was a livewire on the left wing
    A livewire on Liverpool’s left, he had a looping header and fierce drive saved by Petrovic early on.
    His clever movement caused Chelsea problems but the Colombian was less influential after the break.
    Subs:
    Joe Gomez (on for Gravenberch, 27) – 7
    Feared for a second old England rival Raheem Sterling had beaten him for a Chelsea opener but the offside flag came to the rescue.
    Was sent into early action when Gravenberch went down injured. Booked.
    Bobby Clark (on for Bradley, 72) – 7
    Lee Clark’s boy slotted in to the right of the midfield three and did not look out of place as Liverpool’s kids performed admirably on the big stage.
    Kostas Tsimikas (on for Robertson, 87) – 7
    Took on corner duties after being introduced, and supplied the set-piece for Van Dijk’s late winner.
    James McConnell (on for Mac Allister, 87) – 7
    Came on late for his seventh appearance, and by far his most high profile. Booked for pulling back Palmer.

    Chelsea 0 Liverpool 1: Virgil van Dijk sends Wembley wild with dramatic extra time winner in Carabao Cup final

    THE experienced head of Virgil van Dijk guided Liverpool’s kids to Carabao Cup glory as Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour gathered its first piece of silverware. The Dutch headed home an 118th-minute winner from a corner – after having an earlier effort controversially disallowed by VAR as the Reds condemned Chelsea to a sixth consecutive Wembley cup final defeat.

    Klopp had sent three teenage subs into the fray but still saw his injury-ravaged side defeat Chelsea’s billionaires as they completed the first leg of a potential quadruple. 
    In a chaotic, VAR-infested final, Raheem Sterling had a first-half effort tuled out by a linesman’s flag. 
    But as Klopp’s Liverpool reign comes towards a silvery conclusion, Chelsea’s new era is no nearer to getting off the ground. 
    Mauricio Pochettino, still yet to win a trophy in English football, was embarrassed by his side suffering defeat against such patched-up, youthful opposition.,

    With Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szoboszlai all failing to be passed fit, the Liverpool team-sheet ought to have been heartening for Pochettino and his players. 
    The atmosphere on Wembley Way had been underwhelming as supporters of two elite clubs all too used to playing finals here mingled quietly.
    This is not the grudge match it was in the Mourinho-Benitez era, although both fanbases exchanged songs about Steven Gerrard, who once handed in a transfer request, hoping to leave Liverpool for Chelsea. 
    Chelsea had lost two of those previous five finals in penalty shoot-outs against the Reds after goalless draws in 2022 – and this was heading towards a similar conclusion until Van Dijk’s late strike.

    For Liverpool fans it was an opportunity to boo God Save The King at Wembley for the first time, having drowned out God Save The Queen umpteen times in the past. 
    But the Blues made a fretful start, Levi Colwill looking particularly jittery at the heart of the defence and their keeper Djordje Petrovic was soon forced into a decent save from a powerful Luis Diaz shot.

    Still, once they woke up, Chelsea came close on 21 minutes – Sterling was offered a clear sight of goal but was blocked off by Conor Bradley, only for Cole Palmer’s close-range effort to be brilliantly saved by Caoimhin Kelleher. 
    Then it was time for VAR to do its usual thing – getting everything wrong. 
    Moises Caicedo was guilty of a horrible late challenge on Ryan Gravenberch, which left him writhing on the touchline but ref Chris Kavanagh, consistently one of the Premier League’s worst officials, missed it and his VAR John Brooks did not think it worthy of a straight red card. 
    Gravenberch was withdrawn, replaced by Joe Gomez, forcing Bradley to move into midfield in a major reshuffle from Klopp.

    That mistake was evened up by a dodgy offside call which ruled out a Raheem Sterling goal.   
    Palmer’s through-ball fed Jackson, who squared for Sterling to find the net.
    But Jackson was flagged offside and despite the Chelsea striker looking to be onside, Brooks again refused to get involved. 
    Liverpool twice went close themselves – Cody Gakpo crashing a header against the post, then Bradley having a shot blocked after more menacing work for Diaz.

    It was entertaining in a scruffy, scrappy, fractious way and before half-time, Ben Chilwell and Bradley were booked for a shoving match after a tangle on the touchline.  
    After the break, Diaz was cheerleading the Liverpool fans after forcing a corner and Harvey Elliott had an acrobatic effort pushed out by Petrovic. 
    Enzo Fernandez fell over his own feet when presented with a decent chance by Conor Gallagher.
    And then it was back to Stockley Park.

    Having failed to intervene twice in the first half, Brooks woke up to disallow what appeared for all the world to be a bona fide Liverpool goal. 
    Andy Robertson swung in a free-kick from the left and Van Dijk scored with a towering header only for the effort to be disallowed by the forensics department spotting a block by an offside Wataru Endo on Colwill. 
    Chelsea’s fans celebrated wildly. When you dream of Wembley cup finals as a kid, that’s precisely the kind of moment you have in mind. 
    In a wild, open match, higher on tempo than quality, Brooks’ intervention felt particularly weird.

    It was error-riddled and end-to-end – Axel Disasi missed from two yards when the ball deflected off his knee, then Cody Gakpo spooned one over for Liverpool and Gallagher clipped a shot against the post from a Palmer centre.
    Gallagher was piling up the missed chances – first dithering and allowing Kelleher to smother his shot and then firing wide after Nicolas Jackson’s run had been halted by Ibrahima Konate.
    Klopp sent on three teenagers – Bobby Clark, Jayden Danns and James McConnell. 
    And with two such inexperienced sides going hell-for-leather it was playground football stuff – exemplified by a mad scramble in the Liverpool area in injury-time which ended with Kelleher denying Christopher Nkunku.

    Extra-time was largely uneventful until Harvey Elliott’s close-range header was thwarted by Petrovic sticking out a leg. 
    Then Liverpool forced a corner, Tsimikas delivered it to the near post and Van Dijk shook off Disasi and snuck in front of Mykhailo Mudryk to head inside the far post.

    Arsenal fans convinced they ‘live rent free in Jamie Carragher’s head’ after Carabao Cup final commentary

    FANS claim Arsenal “live rent free” in Jamie Carragher’s head – after the “obsessed” commentator’s latest rant in the Carabao Cup final.Liverpool legend Carra moaned that matchwinner Virgil van Dijk had an earlier goal wrongly erased following a “blocking” move the Gunners use.

    Earlier this month Carragher also blasted Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard for over-celebrating a 3-1 win over Liverpool.
    In the end, VVD headed the only goal against Chelsea near the end of extra time on Sunday in a Wembley showpiece crammed full of chances.
    But before that the Dutch defender had a similar effort disallowed.
    Wataru Endo was judged offside in the build-up after VAR intervened.

    Endo tried to get back onside but was assessed to have impeded Van Dijk’s marker, Ben Chilwell.
    Carragher claimed Arsenal regularly “stand in the way of goalkeepers” – and some pundits suggesting they deploy Ben White to hinder keepers.
    But Gunners’ fans taunted the pundit for referencing their team in a match they had nothing to do with.
    Just three weeks ago, Carra had told Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard to “get down the tunnel” after his antics following the end of Liverpool’s 22-match unbeaten run.

    One fan claimed the ex-England defender was “mega fuming” and another insisted: “He’s obsessed.”
    But Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reacted with disbelief when VVD’s goal was disallowed.
    Many Reds’ fans blasted what they called an “awful decision”.
    One argued: “Endo didn’t move, he didn’t move into Colwill’s position. Football is dying.”
    But another viewer accused Liverpool’s Japanese anchorman of being “lazy” for his “unforgivable” act of not getting out of the way quicker.

    But the goal was struck off after the intervention of VAR.
    Wataru Endo was judged to be offside in the build-up to Van Dijk heading in.
    The player utilised the commonly used tactic of starting in an offside position while the free-kick is being prepared.
    But VAR judged his attempts to move back into an onside position to have interfered with Ben Chilwell’s attempts to stop Van Dijk.

    Jurgen Klopp stood aghast on the sidelines – with the decision looking like a harsh one.
