Virgil van Dijk's header deep into extra time gave an under-strength Liverpool side a remarkable 1-0 Carabao Cup final win over Chelsea at Wembley.

Liverpool's 10th triumph in the competition was achieved without a host of injured star names, including forward trio Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota, also losing Ryan Gravenberch when he was taken off on a stretcher after Moises Caicedo's first-half challenge.

It means Liverpool has achieved the first part of a potential four-trophy haul in the manager's farewell season, but it was a bitter blow to Chelsea and manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Chelsea has now lost six successive Wembley finals, including three against Liverpool, and wasted a host of opportunities here.
