Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Fulham on Wednesday (Jan 24) secured a 3-2 aggregate win in the semifinals and another showdown with Chelsea. The Reds led 2-1 from the first leg and their draw at Craven Cottage was enough to get the job done and set up a Wembley final on Feb 25.
Liverpool advanced to the Carabao Cup (League Cup) final after a 1-1 draw with Fulham in the second leg of the semi-final at Craven Cottage.
It meant Jurgen Klopp’s side won the tie 3-2 on aggregate with Luis Diaz’s early goal in the second leg proving crucial.
It was a largely comfortable tie for Liverpool, who controlled the game for long periods. They rode their luck at times and had to withstand Fulham pressure when Issa Diop equalised with 15 minutes to go.
Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino await them in the final in a re-run of the 2022 final which Liverpool won on penalties.
Chelsea booked their place at Wembley on Tuesday with a 6-1 win over Championship club Middlesbrough, who won the first leg 1-0.
