Chelsea was up against a depleted Liverpool side who were without a host of injured major players, including a forward trio of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota.
The Reds also lost Ryan Gravenberch in the first half, after her was stretched off following a challenge by Moises Caicedo’s.
Jurgen Klopp’s men had a Virgil van Dijk goal disallowed in the second half, but that did not deter the Reds, as they mentioned the pressure against a wasteful Chelsea side.
The efforts paid off in the 118th minute when van Dijk headed home a winner, which stood this time and handed Liverpool their 10th Carabao Cup.
