Following a 4-0 victory in their semi-final second leg at Anfield, Liverpool overcame a first-leg deficit to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 on aggregate, setting them up to play Newcastle United in the EFL Cup final.
Shortly after the half, Cody Gakpo gave Liverpool the lead, and in the early minutes of the second half, Mohamed Salah was dependable as usual from the penalty spot.
Soon after, Dominik Szoboszlai exploited a struggling Spurs defense, and with ten minutes left, captain Virgil van Dijk added another goal as Arne Slot’s team put on an all-around strong performance.
All of the big chances went to the home team, and Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch were also denied by the woodwork after the half, meaning that Ange Postecoglou’s team was unable to control the game from beginning to end.
The ease with which the task was completed will delight manager Slot, and the Liverpool supporters can now anticipate a visit to Wembley on March 16.
