Liverpool 0-0 Chelsea

Liverpool have won their second trophy of the season after taking Chelsea all the way to penalties in today’s FA Cup final, with the match remaining 0-0 over 120 minutes.

Reminiscent of the Carabao Cup final earlier this year, Liverpool proved victorious in a 6-5 penalty shootout over the Londoners.

Alisson Becker and Kostas Tsimikas were the spot-kick heroes as Liverpool secured a 6-5 penalty shoot-out triumph against Chelsea to win the FA Cup and keep their quest for an unprecedent quadruple alive.

Just 76 days after the Reds edged past Thomas Tuchel’s men on penalties following a scoreless Carabao Cup final, Wembley witnessed another gripping clash between these sides that went down to the wire.

Nothing could split them after 90 minutes and extra time again, despite Luis Diaz going close on several occasions. Marcos Alonso was denied by the bar for Chelsea, while Andy Roberson missed a couple of big chances for Liverpool.

Edouard Mendy prevented Sadio Mane striking the winner after Cesar Azpilicueta had hit the post, only for Alisson to keep Mason Mount’s penalty out. That set the stage for Kostas Tsimikas, who made no mistake to send his teammates and Jurgen Klopp charging up the pitch to celebrate with him.

This game was a near-carbon copy of February’s Carabao Cup Final. Another goalless draw that should have yielded numerous goals. Another elongated shoot-out.

Today’s result keeps Liverpool’s hopes alive for an unprecedented quadruple. The Reds are already in the Champions League final and still hoping for a Man City Premier League slip.

The Liverpool manager has now won almost every single major honour possible in his Liverpool tenure, with a Premier League title, Champions League, Carabao Cup, Super Cup and FA Cup all on his CV, which will surely leave Klopp delighted.

The Reds will now continue their pursuit to take their outside chance of chasing the Premier League title behind Manchester City, and then they head to Paris to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
