It marks their second title of the season and also ensures that Jurgen Klopp's side’s quadruple chase is on.

And with the FA Cup win, Liverpool have surpassed Man United in terms of the total amount of trophies won in their history.

The FA Cup title marks their 67th overall silverware (including Community Shield) – one more than what United has managed.

Liverpool now have 51 trophies (without Community Shield) which is more than United’s 45 as well.

The Red Devils have no option to equal this tally this season as they are set to undergo yet another campaign without any silverware.

Liverpool, meanwhile, still has the Premier League and Champions League titles to play for until the end of the season.
