Fulham vs Liverpool LIVE: Carabao Cup result, final score and reaction as Reds punch ticket to Wembley

32 mins: Jimenez bears down on goal but his low effort is turned away well by Kelleher. Liverpool break up the pitch but a superb tackle from Tosin ensures Nunez doesn’t make it any further with the ball.

31 mins: Jimenez’s cross is cleared away and Liverpool can break. The ball is fed out to Diaz but the forward’s effort is weak and claimed easily by Leno down low at his near post.

28 mins: DISALLOWED! Diaz has the ball in the back of the net but the flag is up on Nunez earlier in the move.

A reminder that there is no VAR tonight due to Middlesbrough - one of the four semi-finalists - not having the technology.

25 mins: Gakpo makes a smart surge into the box as he looks to meet Elliot’s dinked cross but the offside flag goes up straight away. That looked very tight.

24 mins: It’s all a bit comfortable for the visitors at the moment who are simply knocking it about without a whole lot of pressure. No real chances of not for Liverpool but they’ve been in total control since that Diaz opener.

19 mins: Liverpool have bossed this game since going ahead. Huge boos greet former Fulham player Elliot every time he touches the ball but he’s just one of many Liverpool players who have had a bright start.

15 mins: There’s a slight stoppage as a flare ends up on the pitch and the delay may provide Fulham with a much-needed opportunity to regroup. They aren’t out of this tie by any stretch but it’s just got a whole lot tougher.

A huge goal for Liverpool! Diaz receives the ball on the left edge of the box before cutting onto his favoured right foot. His scuffed effort ricochets off Palhinha and Adarabioyo and somehow squirms past Leno and into the net.

The German keeper surely should have done better with that effort but the goal now leaves Fulham with a mountain to climb in this tie.

10 mins: Far better from Fulham now as Robinson storms down the left flank. The American’s cross into the box looks destined for Decordova-Reid at the back post but for a vital touch from Kelleher to deflect it away from the winger at the back post.

8 mins: CHANCE! Palhinha should do better. The Portuguese midfielder is found unmarked in the middle of the box by the cross but volleys his effort over the bar.

The look on his face says it all.
