The are jubitaling as if the win the Champions League, Let’s see how they win the Premier League, VAR cheated, or they won’t have a tongue to celebrate now: Chelsea Manager Pochettino Send Strong message warning to Jürgen Klopp after VAR rough decision to give Liverpool the win yesterday

Liverpool beat Chelsea to win the Carabao Cup with a shot deep into extra time. Chelsea was devastated.

In the 118th minute, the Reds captain headed in a Kostas Tsimikas corner, which caused a wild scene. Earlier, VAR had ruled that the goal was not valid.

In a very close game, Chelsea almost took the lead after 20 minutes, but Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher made a great save on Cole Palmer. Then, Raheem Sterling scored a goal for Chelsea, but Nicolas Jackson was offside, so it was ruled out.

Then, Cody Gakpo’s header hit the post for Liverpool. The Reds thought they had scored the first goal, but VAR called Wataru Endo offside, and Van Dijk’s header was called off.

Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher hit the post as the Blues tried to score a winner in extra time against Liverpool, who had to use a lot of young players because so many of their top stars were hurt.

Harvey Elliott shot into the side netting, and Jayden Danns, a youngster, had a header saved by Djordje Petrovic in extra time. Elliott then had a header from close range saved by Petrovic. These are the main things to talk about.

Klopp’s four-quest takes place again.
Jurgen Klopp’s team won the first of what could be four trophies this season, even though they were missing a lot of players and ended the game with a very young team that included Bobby Clark, James McConnell, Jarell Quansah, and Danns, who just made his professional debut on Wednesday. What a feat!

This team worked hard and wanted to win. This is the kind of spirit and drive that Klopp brought to the club in 2015, and it will be so, so hard to replace him when he goes. That old saying about turning doubters into believers was very clear here, and he really does make this club believe.

Two, Liverpool’s list of injured players is crazy.

Mo Salah was seen on the Wembley grass talking to his good friend Kostas Tsimikas before the game, which gave Liverpool fans a small moment of hope that he might be added to the team. Unfortunately, it was always going to be just a watching brief.

Klopp made two changes to his team from the 4-1 win over Luton: Andy Robertson and Ibrahima Konate came in for Joe Gomez and Quansah. These changes did make Klopp’s team stronger, but Salah’s absence is just the tip of the injury iceberg. It was also surprising to see so many young players on the bench for a major final, given the players who weren’t there.

Another injured player, Ryan Gravenberch, was taken off on a stretcher after a scary tackle from Moises Caicedo. With so many important players not there, it was clear that this Liverpool afternoon would be more about desire than delicate football.

3. Chelsea got better at the game

If everyone on both teams was healthy and available, Chelsea would know that they are huge underdogs here. After all, they lost badly to a much better Liverpool team at Anfield three and a half weeks ago.

At first, they took their time to figure out what kind of Liverpool they were facing. But they got into the game and would have been ahead if Kelleher hadn’t made a great save to stop Palmer in the 20th minute.

Soon after, Sterling’s close-range shot was ruled off because Jackson was offside. As the game went on, you could almost see Chelsea’s players getting bigger. The shot by Gakpo that hit the post could have put Liverpool ahead, but the Blues looked like they were more dangerous.

4. Conor Bradley has the fight to win.

If Liverpool’s fitness problems have led to one good thing, it’s Conor Bradley. The young Northern Irish player would have been seen earlier in the season but for an injury. But since he joined the team at the beginning of the year, it seems like he’s always been there.

Following Gravenberch’s injury, Bradley had to move further forward. He’ll never be as good there as Salah, but he was always willing to run and try to cause trouble for Ben Chilwell, as they literally did when they collided near the end of the half. Klopp will not be able to see Bradley grow, but he leaves a great player for whoever takes his place.

5. VAR says VVD isn’t guilty… until it isn’t.

Since technology didn’t get in the way of Liverpool’s captain’s header on the hour mark, the goal would have stood. This brings us back to the conversation we keep having about video assistant referees. Do we really want them for this? At least it looked like a goal, and we have to think that Endo being offside is more important than Chilwell pulling Van Dijk’s shirt. Is it really? Who knows now?

Don’t worry, the Dutchman would still have his big moment. There is no doubt about him, and Liverpool may not have any doubts either.
