Chelsea vs Liverpool LIVE: Carabao Cup final result after Kepa misses crucial penalty in shoot-out

78 mins: Disallowed goal! Luis Diaz gives the ball away in his own half to Mateo Kovacic who flicks it over the top to Timo Werner. Werner is clearly offside as he floats the ball across the box to Kai Havertz but he completes the move with a headed effort into the back of the net that Caoimhin Kelleher almost stops. It doesn’t matter though, the ball has barely crossed the line before the assistant referee raises the offside flag.

75 mins: Save! Edouard Mendy is called into action once again. Alexander-Arnold laces a diagonal pass over to Luis Diaz who sprints behind Trevoh Chalobah and takes the ball into the box. He tries to guide the ball underneath Mendy who drops low and keeps it out from close range!

72 mins: Virgil van Dijk was offside by the smallest of margins, a couple of toes maybe, but I think it is the correct decision. It was a definite ploy to have him stop Reece James from marking Sadio Mane.

Thomas Tuchel makes a couple of changes. Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic are off with Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner brought on. Liverpool have just taken control of the game and Chelsea could use the fresh legs up top.

Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool

69 mins: There’s a huge roar from the Chelsea supporters as Stuart Attwell signals that the goal has to be chalked off. VAR took a look at the replay and determined that Van Dijk was offside in the build-up. The referee is then called over to the pitch side monitor to decide if Van Dijk was involved in the play - by blocking off Reece James - he decides that the defender was involved and rules the goal out for offside.

67 mins: How big will this goal be? Liverpool win a free kick just outside the Chelsea penalty area. Trent Alexander-Arnold flicks the ball over to the back post. Virgil van Dijk is there to block off Reece James and allow Sadio Mane to run in behind. Mane gets to the ball and nods it across the sxi-yard box where Joel Matip pops up to head it home!

66 mins: Off the line! Edouard Mendy messes up with an awful pass into the midfield and gives the ball straight to Liverpool. The Reds break forward on the counter and play Salah into the box for a one-on-one with Mendy. He dinks the ball over the goalkeeper aiming for the far bottom corner but Thiago Silva sprints back to boot the ball off the goalline! Great defending.

63 mins: Naby Keita and Trevoh Chalobah collide in the middle of the pitch with the Chelsea man coming off worse after a high boot from Keita scrapes down Chalobah’s thigh. Both players are checked over by the physios and both seem fine to play on. No cards come out for Keita who seems to have got away with just a free kick.

60 mins: Chance! Marcos Alonso flicks the ball down the left side and gives it to Mason Mount. He’s one of two Chelsea runners and passes it into the other one, Kai Havertz, before sprinting inside of Virgil van Dijk. Havertz returns the pass and Mount drills a low shot at Caoimhin Kelleher who smothers it after a slight fumble.

58 mins: Cesar Azpilicueta isn’t right. He’s walking around stiffly and won’t be able to play on. Thomas Tuchel decide to make a substitution. Reece James returns for the Blues for the first time since December. Can he impact this game in Chelsea’s favour?

56 mins: Luis Diaz is played down the left-hand channel and he takes on Trevoh Chalobah, weaving left to right in an attempt to open up a pass to the far post. Chalobah holds his position though and blocks the shot when Diaz goes for goal himself.

Liverpool’s corner is then whipped in by Andy Robertson but cleared at the near post.
