Virgil van Dijk's late header secured a dramatic Carabao Cup final victory for a depleted Liverpool over Chelsea at Wembley

Despite an earlier goal being disallowed, Van Dijk scored in the 118th minute off a Kostas Tsimikas corner.

Liverpool, missing key players such as Salah, Nunez, and Jota, clinched their 10th title in the competition. Their victory marks the start of a potential quadruple in Klopp's final season.

Chelsea, managed by Mauricio Pochettino, suffered their sixth consecutive Wembley final loss, unable to capitalize on their chances. Liverpool's goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, shone with crucial saves.

Liverpool found success despite significant absences, showcasing promising talent as Klopp played three young substitutes. This triumph against the odds boosts Liverpool's confidence as they bid farewell to Klopp.

Chelsea missed an opportunity to overturn past defeats and secure European football but fell short, continuing Pochettino's trophyless run in England and heightening the club's recent frustrations.
