Liverpool Proceeds to League Cup Final After Defeating Arsenal
by privatebet.com - 2022/01/21
A face-off between Liverpool and Arsenal is always a joy to watch, and their latest match was no different. The Reds reached their first League Cup final in six years after defeating Arsenal 2-0 thanks to Diogo Jota. Jota was on fire since the beginning of the match and scored his first goal 19 minutes later. Arsenal tried to hold their ground in the first half, but they lost control of the game, as Jota led Liverpool to a dominant victory with his second goal, 13 minutes before the final whistle. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said that the mood in the dressing room was over the moon after the victory, and praised the players for being exceptional – especially Jota. "We scored two wonderful goals, Diogo Jota on fire. We were completely convinced when he arrived at the club he would help us massively. Since he is here he has made another step, he has turned into a really world class striker," Klopp told Sky Sports. This marks the first time since 2016 that Liverpool reached the League Cup final when they eventually lost out to Manchester City. They’ll have a chance to make a comeback on February 27, when they’re set to play the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.
