Liverpool's week in focus

It has been a record-breaking week for Liverpool, whose manager, Klopp, announced will be departing at the end of this season. Their week began with a dramatic win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.

The Blues had the better chances of the game, while Liverpool lacked a couple of first-team stars due to injury. Klopp introduced four members of the academy from the bench as the game moved to extra time. Van Dijk scored a thumping header in the 118th minute to win the first silverware of Klopp's last season in charge.

They then saw off Southampton in a midweek FA Cup clash, with academy players Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns scoring their first senior goals. Their next match will be against Sparta Prague in the Europa League before playing champions Manchester City next weekend.
