As was the case two years ago, the Reds once again emerged as the victors, this time with Chelsea failing to get revenge over Jurgen Klopp's charges.

The Sunday match looked set to be decided via the shootouts after both teams failed to score in 90 minutes.

However, with just two minutes left of extra time, Virgil van Dijk powered home the winner to help his side storm to victory.

Gary Neville's commentary goes viral

Liverpool's victory in the tie denied Chelsea the chance to lift their first-ever trophy under the ownership of Todd Boehly.

The Mirror reports Neville could not resist the urge to pile up into the west Londoners, with the former defender's poetic commentary becoming a huge talking point.

"It's Klopp's kids against the billion-pound bottle jobs," announced Neville, as quoted by TNT Sports.
"I've got no sympathy whatsoever!" he added.

Fans were quick to liken Neville's commentary to Peter Drury's, with some joking the legendary defender may have been spending some time with the iconic commentator.

@NOT_MOTD posted:

"Iconic commentary from Gary Neville."

@FootyHumour added:

"Gary Neville providing us with one of the all time great quotes."

@MeetPenderes noted:

"Gary Neville with the Peter Drury vibes."

@Christianojnr7 concluded:

"He really cooked them."

Enzo Fernandez mocked by Liverpool fan

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Enzo Fernandez getting restrained from physicality with a Liverpool fan who mocked him after the Carabao Cup final defeat.

The Argentine was part of the Chelsea team that lost the final on Sunday at Wembley Stadium, with the Blues missing out on their best chance at silverware.
