Virgil Van Dijk’s goal brought the Merseysiders the trophy.
“Liverpool” won “Chelsea” Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk in the final match English League Cup. The main time of the match at the “Wembley” stadium in London ended with a score of 0:0, and in extra time, the “reds” won the victory – 0:1.
In the first half, “pensioners” were very close to taking the lead. In the 33rd minute, Raheem Sterling hit the Merseysiders’ goal following a pass from Nicholas Jackson, but following watching the video replay (VAR), the referee disallowed the goal for offside.
After the break, Jurgen Klopp’s team found themselves in a similar position. In the 60th minute, Virgil Van Dijk headed home Andrew Robertson’s pass from the left wing. However, following reviewing the video replay, the referee disallowed the goal because Wataru Endo, who was influential in the episode, was in an offside position.
It should be noted that at the end of the second half, Mudryk entered the field – in the 90th minute, the Ukrainian replaced Jackson.
Therefore, in the main time of the match, the teams might not determine the winner, so the game went to extra time.
