Martin Keown questioned how Liverpool attempted to deal with the threat of Dan Burn for Newcastle's opening goal in Sunday's Carabao Cup final.

Burn dispatched a header from a Kieran Trippier corner in the first half and the Magpies went on to win the game 2-1, ending a 70-year wait for a major domestic honor.

Newcastle center-back Burn, who stands at more than two meters tall, went virtually unchallenged as he easily out-jumped Alexis Mac Allister, one of the smallest men on the pitch, to nod the ball past Caoimhin Kelleher.

Arne Slot explained his zonal marking system in a post-match press conference from Wembley.

He said: "We play zonal, so we have five players, zonally, close to our goal.

“Normally a player like Dan Burn or another one runs to the zone – and I think he’s an exception to that as I’ve never seen in my life a player from that far away heading the ball with so much force into the far corner.

“That is part of logic that they either have to go far away from our zone – which 99 out of a 100 times that will never lead to a goal – or they have to arrive in our zone and that’s an equal battle if you want to say it like this.

So credit to him, I think he is one of the few players who can score a goal from that distance with his head.”

Keown suggested that Liverpool could have approached marking Burn differently.

I thought he explained it well after the game, this zonal marking for set pieces but I wouldn't agree
