FULL-TIME, CHELSEA 0-1 LIVERPOOL. Liverpool take the League Cup for a record 10th time after a quite incredible final that had everythingand blessedly that included a goal from open play! Hard, hard knock for Chelsea who gave it their all, but for Liverpool it's a glorious night and a triumphant night. Harrowing, emotionalbrutal a truly special Cup final with something for everyone.

GOAL, LIVERPOOL, VAN DIJK! 0-1; Superb glancing header from Van Dijk to the far corner, leaving Petrovic stranded. Justice from the Footballing Gods the Reds will shoutthank heavens for a goal in open play, shout the neutrals. Well deserved for Liverpool, although a tough break for Chelsea who have controlled a lot of the play tonight.
IMPOSSIBLE! Liverpool cross to Elliott wide of the far post, he heads hard down and Kelleher is down to save with his body, but it slips loose and there's a ruck of players around Petrovic trying to clear to crush the ball into the netbut Petrovic is defiant as he lies horizontal on his goal line clutching the ball.
