Liverpool will face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final after a 4-0 win over Tottenham, overturning their 1-0 defeat in the first leg, thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk.

The Egyptian was first provider as his lofted ball into the box went all the way through to Gakpo at the back post, who made no mistake with a confident first-time finish.

Then Salah had a chance to put the hosts into the lead for the first time in the semi-final, after Darwin Nunez was brought down by goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.



Salah made no mistake from the penalty spot as he found the top corner, sending Anfield into raptures.

Szoboszlai then put the outcome beyond doubt, with Liverpool's place at Wembley all-but secured when he raced onto Conor Bradley's pass and tucked an effort past the goalkeeper.

Did well to drive at the Spurs backline to set up a chance for Nunez, which hit the side-netting.

Archie Gray was in all sorts of trouble for Liverpool's third, as Bradley switched up his run to come inside and play Szoboszlai in to finish.

His defensive acumen has certainly improved this season.

Ryan Gravenberch - 7

Gravenberch's ability to win loose balls directly resulted in Gakpo's opener, having pounced on Spurs' possession before the ball fell to Salah and then the in-form left-winger.

Dominic Szoboszlai - 8

Clearly making more of an effort to step up his goals and assists tally, with several blocked shots from inside the area as he found space well, while also covering plenty of ground against a tiresome Spurs midfield.

He did get his goal after a good run from Bradley, finishing well under pressure.

Attack

Mohamed Salah - 9

Was denied what would have been a delightful assist if Szoboszlai was not offside on the 30-minute mark, but got his reward shortly after when a lofted ball into the area ended up at Gakpo's feet to fire past Kinsky.

Djed Spence has been a difficult opponent to get the better of since he was introduced into the Spurs backline, but Salah is no average winger and tormented the left-back.

His constant running in behind was worthwhile after latching onto a touch from Salah ahead of Kinsky, winning a penalty which was successfully converted.

Cody Gakpo - 8

Took his goal extremely well, with little space to work with, and created countless chances for his team-mates.
