Liverpool - Road to Victory ✪ League Cup 2024

Well, a hearty welcome to you from Anfield for our Carabao Cup action tonight between Premier League Liverpool and Championship leaders Leicester City. Well, this competition tightly woven into the fabric of these two football clubs. Liverpool triumphed for the record nine times and they defeated Leicester admittedly. Endo will unleash or be it. Not with a great deal of Venice and it's Unesacu and he's measured the pass absolutely perfectly and McAteer takes the chance. And Anfield is stunned and the travelling hordes from the East Midlands delighted. Well, they sprung on the counter-attack in absolutely devastating fashion. Trying to catch them on the hop here and Elliott to tease it in there. And Doak on the follow-up. Margiela's Jota arriving at the back post and Simakas with the away swinger this time. Back in there and Doak against the crossbar. Huge escape for Leicester. They're really feeling the heat now. Simakas again and off the line by Kody. Endo, well played. Gakko, it's sitting for him. Gravenberg, he worked through and there it is. Kopp has had its effect. Kopp rather than Elliott appealing for the penalty. Oh, great work by Elliott. And somehow Gakko doesn't score. So what's right, little pocket of space. Chance to take aim and score magnificently. Darwin Nunez to Siboslai, you know what they want. Agnilovic, because he's got a taste for it. What a deja vu. This is Kwanzaa. Four in the area with him for Liverpool. Oh, beautifully done. Diogo Jota, cheeky as you like. Cheeky. Dift. Klopp savouring the joy and hunger in his. The Cherries are fresh from their first league win of the season on Saturday against Burnley. A first league victory under their new head coach Andoni Iraiola. While Liverpool have won 11 of their 14 games in all competitions this season. And this is someone on the left. He's not doing a lot of the talking, to be fair. Kluivert. Well, first real shot in anger from the home side. No problem for Siboslai, but it's been pinched by Kluivert. Kelleher just about keeps it out. That's looking for Semenyo. Christy. Well, that would have been an app. Gomez, Siboslai. Brilliant ball. And the shot from Harvey Elliott is saved by Radu. Savani away yet again. Elliott drills it. Oh, it's smashed in by Cody Gagpo. Radu made the initial save. But Liverpool have made one of their five corners in this first half. Pay with a goal. Jones. Siboslai. A whisker wide to Semenyo. Good try. Kelleher with the save. Scott. Is he going to have a try here? Well, had it been on target, Kelleher might have had a problem. Scott with the end swinger. Awkward. And headed off the line. Joe Gomez to the rescue. Otherwise, that was going straight. Elliott. Salah wants it. And heads narrowly wide. There's no way that Radu was getting there. Kluivert. Semenyo. He's missed it. He can go for it. Well, he scored a beauty at that end against Fulham last season. He's going to take this one as well. And it's in. It's Kluivert who scores his first Bournemouth goal. To equalise for the Cherries. They can sit. Allows Bournemouth to get back in position. Munoz takes it on. Oh, a sensational goal. Radu completely outfoxed. Darwin Nunez has put Liverpool back in front. It's a full-time whistle. Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are through to the... Anfield is ready to make one big noise for Liverpool and for West Ham United. Yes, thank you, Mark. Part two of this week's Anfield trilogy. This place lit up in all its glory. Towering into the sky in north Liverpool. Cup nights at Anfield are always special. Elliott. Can he fancy this? He did do! Yeah, it's before nickname of Super Sobiel. Zabislai. It's Elliott who picks up. Liverpool are backing on the door here. Yeah, brilliant technique. Zabislai. Another shot from Liverpool. Yeah, he got up here. He was just timing it. Nunez. Nice spin. It's Darwin Nunez who draws the save from Ariola. Beautiful approach play. Good from Liverpool. Good from Nunez. So West Ham to Pounce. Kudus goes for it but couldn't deliver. Now Gakpo. Gakpo! Surely now seals Liverpool's place in the last four of the Carabao Cup. Ruthless finish. Well, I said before the game it was a big night for him. And he's got his goal. Jarrett Bowen who's had very little to go at tonight. Jarrett Bowen. That is class. Chance. He will take it. He made that himself. He finished it himself. And West Ham United's fans have something to cheer. Nunez. Nunez! Hits the post. Salah on the follow-up. Puts it wide. Not sure if Ariola got a touch on the original shot from Darwin Nunez. Now Salah's after this one. Mo Salah! Normal service resumed and a blink of an eye. His love story with Liverpool continues. He'll be happy now on that connection route when he gets in. For the wide forwards. This position he's in now. Jones is slaloming his way through here. It's another one! Minutes. Thank you for the moment Steve and Jamie. Let's join our commentary team here at Anfield. Don Goodman and first of all good evening to Seth Hutchinson. Yes, good evening. Liverpool are more than in the mix for more than one piece of... Finds Jones. This is promising for Liverpool. Jones goes himself. Well held by Leno. Oh Van Dijk might be caught out here. Fulham have a chance. Willian still scores at the Kop End for Fulham. What a moment for the visitors taking advantage of a rare error from Liverpool's main man at the back. Well they haven't had anything to defend at all in this game. Opening 19-20 minutes. And it's Virgil Pereira to shoot and Kelleher defended. Gomez! New 90% of this into the space. Chops back. Chance! Oh and drags it wide. It would have been some moment for him. But he decoupled. Pereira's in the middle. He went himself and he did test Kelleher. Another chance for Canister to send it in. And almost all the way in. Lane tested. Still plenty of time. Nunez. Bradley across. Year of the match. Liverpool enter the second half of their 19th League Cup semi-final with a lead. And every belief that a place in a 14th final will be theirs. But this a game of mighty magnitude for Fulham Football Club. One of the very biggest in their history. They've won divisional titles. They were one of three. Oh that warm for the former Fulham man Elliot who delivers. Berlino out. Willing overlap from Castagne which will now be exploited. Robinson typically flying forward. And a delivery of considerable threat. Which in the end is... Oh and Luis Diaz has an opportunity here. Which he takes! He's squeezed it in. Bionte and Leno. Paul tighten their grip. Closer and closer to Wembley. Well on fine Martins do game. Oh and Nunez in behind the flag up anyway. And to Willian. Right off the post. Nunez. Harvey Elliot. Oh and Leno is able to produce. And every save. Darwin Nunez! Well every inch looked in after that turn. Stayed up. Good work by Wilson. What a dangerous ball it is! Once more Liverpool. Wembley is looking sensational. Red against blue. The 64th League Cup Final is on the way. Kick-off next. Here they come. Chelsea and Liverpool. The 64th. Some noise here pitch side at Wembley. Chelsea against Liverpool. Let's join your commentary team. Mike Dean. Gary Neville. Jamie Carragher. And first of all good afternoon to Peter Drury. Robertson's on the march. And Robertson has lifted it in. And the header is a loopy one. Which is easily gatherable from Diaz. By Chilwell. Bionte Zazie. Fired back in by Kuzma Kallister. Gappo's through the middle. Elliott's wide. But Kallister had a hit. Right down the throat of Petrovic. Bolton. Gappo. And Diaz! Beaten out by Petrovic. Turned in. Bjorn Jackson for Sterling. And Palmer. And Jackson. What a save. What a... Palmer. Jackson. No flag. Sterling's up. Jackson's on his way. Raheem Sterling! Now the flag's up. Well I was watching the assistant referee but... Sterling. Set back by Gallagher. Chased in by Palmer. That's very calmly defended by Robertson. I wanted to see a bit more Diaz. Robertson! Oh he's hit the post as Gappo. And Chilwell scrapes it clear. And Gallagher. And Fernandes trying something. There's... Called Palmer. He humps that. Got a little nibble. Cross. It's Elliott. Puts it away by Petrovic. Diaz. And still... Luis Diaz! I've been looking at that back post since the start of the game. Robertson played it in. Van Dijk! There's a review. There's a review for offside. Oh Gallagher delivers. And scooped up from right underneath the crossbar by Di Zazie. I mean you can't believe this game's 0-0. Driving up Robertson. Called Palmer. Oh it's against the post from Gallagher. Wow. Callister. Elliott. Gomez! This would be the day. Cristobal. Angle too tight. Good shot. Called Palmer. It's Chelsea nil. Liverpool nil. An extra time follows. Van Dijk is still forward. And Van Dijk on his head. And dance! Diaz. Elliott! Noni Maguay-Kay! Down went Gallagher. Second time. I mean even though Chelsea are sitting off Liverpool. Lifted in by Simicast. There's Elliott! And dance is crashing in. And Petrovic has hold on the line. Sometimes when you're running at the back post. Happy Elliott. Is he trying to score? In by Simicast. It's in! Liverpool for a record 10th time. Liverpool as if by luck. Stern in Passion Club. Be just the start of it. A ticker tape launch to the...
