Liverpool beat Arms stockpile to reach the Association Container last much appreciated to Diogo Jota’s twofold.
Liverpool cruised to a 2-0 win against Arsenal in the second leg of their League Cup; semi-final on Thursday, setting up a clash with Chelsea at Wembley. It beat Arms stockpile to reach the Association Container last much appreciated to Diogo Jota’s twofold.
Arsenal managed a 0-0 draw at Anfield last week despite playing the majority of the first; half with ten men following Granit Xhaka’s early dismissal, but all that sweat and toil was for naught.
Liverpool were put under pressure early on, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Naby Keita; all away at the African Nations Cup, and Arsenal attacker Alexandre Lacazette hit the bar with a free kick.
In the 19th minute, though, a flowing Liverpool play concluded with Jota’s strike sneaking inside the post.
After that, Arsenal lacked conviction, and Jota sealed Liverpool’s passage with a beautiful finish; in the 77th minute – the goal was initially declared offside but was overturned after a VAR review. Arsenal’s night ended with Thomas Partey being sent off for a second yellow after a late tackle on Fabinho.
When Liverpool takes on Chelsea, who qualified with a 3-0 aggregate victory over Tottenham Hotspur last week; they will be aiming for a record ninth League Cup success.
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said, “We are tremendously thrilled, the feeling in the locker room is over the moon.”
“Arsenal were active in the first half, as was the crowd; but we were able to calm things down. We were able to score two fantastic goals.

“Arsenal fans were euphoric after Lacazette’s clipped free kick forced Liverpool; goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to tip the ball against the crossbar. Liverpool, on the other hand, quickly found their stride, and the opening goal was of exceptional quality. Liverpool pushed the ball out to Trent Alexander-Arnold from deep inside their own half; thanks to a beautiful flick from Roberto Firmino. Jota was fed by Alexander-Arnold; who ran inside Takehiro Tomiyasu before fooling Aaron Ramsdale with a slow-rolling shot into the corner.
The objective thumped the stuffing out of Mikel Arteta’s side; and Liverpool looked comfortable after that, in spite of Lacazette having another chance that he squandered. Liverpool youngster Kaide Gordon misused a brilliant opportunity to amplify Liverpool’s lead; and substitute Ibrahima Konate’s header pummeled into the foot of the post. Arsenal’s hopes of a comeback were dashed when right back Alexander-Arnold drifted a pass to Jota; who chested the ball down some time before dinking a dazzling wrap up past Ramsdale.

Virgil van Dijk, a Liverpool defender, said: “Diogo Jota is already a wonderful player, the numbers speak for themselves. He is a difficult striker/winger to play against; as he has demonstrated over the last year. It’s something I learn in school. He’s step up yet again tonight.”
