Liverpool 4-0 Tottenham (AGG: 4-1): Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah among goal scorers such as Arne Slot Books First Cup Final performance as Reds Boss | Football News

Carabao Cup holders Liverpool overturned a one-target deficit to book their place in the competition’s showpiece final at Wembley with an exciting 4-1 overall victory over Tandless Tottenham.

Goals from Cody Gakpo – his tithe in 10 domestic performances – Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk Canceled Lucas Bergvall’s strike from first legs and condemned spurs to their common heaviest defeat of Ange Postecoglous accusations.

Liverpool made their visitors pay for lethargy in the first period when Yves Bissouma’s simple gift presented the chance of Salah to feed Gakpo, but the rest was a procession when the Egyptian scored from the penalty, after Antonin Kinsky’s mistake, Szoboszlai, stroked A third home a third and van Dijk nodded Alexis Mac Allister’s Corner beyond the boring goalkeeper.

A patched spurs looked like they didn’t know how to deal with the apartment, with their one-target advantage that forced a passivity that rarely works on Anfield. Jamie Redknapp labeled Display “Horrendous” and “Shocking”.

Arne Castle’s relentless red meetings Newcastle – who beat Arsenal 4-0 over their respective two legs – at Wembley on March 16 for the chance to lift a record -extending 11th League Cup Trophy.

Postecoglou’s promise of silverware in the second season, in the meantime, feels more distant than ever, with his side unable to still muster a shot on the target over a lifeless 90 minutes. Tottenham’s 17-year-old wait for a trophy continues.

Redknapp beats out in Spurs’ fight

Sky Sports’ Jamie Redknapp:

“I don’t remember a team in my lifetime that went down unless of a match with what spurs did today. Not having a shot at the target in the semi -finals on another stage when trying to change the course of your story ?

“I think sorry for these players. I have never seen anything like it. You have young players, you are meant to protect them.

“Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, they are young men and try their best. But I look at the experienced players today to lead and try to set the pace. They didn’t do it a bit.

“There have been some low – Palace, Ipswich and Everton this season. But when you look at it today, the scoring line, just terrible.”

Analysis: Tottenham chaotic and confused

Sky Sports’ Laura Hunter:

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Tottenham hardly attended this semi -final. The players’ body language reads something close to ‘Put me out of my misery’ at the end.

Liverpool was impressive, very smooth, but Tottenham had nothing to offer, not even faith. They completed only 88 passes in the first period, their fewest in half football during Postecoglou and the second 45 minutes got worse only. The scoring line actually flattered them – 0.18 value of generated XG equally pitiful.

What will disappoint the manager the most is the contrast of a first part of such a promise. There was a little precious to be proud of from any individual. However, where Postecoglou himself has to admit is over a clear lack of gaming plan. What was the spurs created to do? They offered nothing similar to the context of each end of the field.

Jamie Redknapp said he was ‘confused’ of postcoglous tactics. The players appeared just as confused, making it impossible to get a foothold and played directly in Liverpool’s binding hands.

Carragher: Spurs never shocked in big games

Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher:

“It was never in doubt before the game. It’s Tottenham! When does Tottenham ever win a big game? When does Tottenham ever go and surprised, win against the odds?

“The odds were massive in favor of Liverpool – they are at Anfield, they are the best team in the country, possibly the best team in Europe right now.

“But it’s not just this spurs team. They never shock you, never do anything unusual.

Postecoglou finds out the statement ‘irrelevant’

Tottenham Head coach Ange Postecoglou:

“It’s reasonable to say we didn’t get to the level we needed tonight. To give us an opportunity we had to be much more aggressive with and without the ball – we weren’t. We let them control and dictate.

Answer to Redknapp’s claim The fact that Spurs went down without a fight, Postecoglou said: “I know people are being excited about similar things people on TV give opinions, that’s what they’re there to do.

“My job is to manage this football club. Whatever people think or don’t think is irrelevant, it doesn’t really matter. I do not emphasize it or who we are. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion and express it.

Slot: the most special evening

Liverpool boss Arne Castle:

“I think we already had some big nights here, but yes to reach a final should be special too, and that’s what it is. So yes in that perspective it has been the most special evening.

“In the Netherlands we only have a cup competition and the final is played at the end of the season, so it’s a new experience, but a great one to have.

“(Wembley) is a special stadium for English people, but also for Dutch people because we know the history of the stadium and a final as well.”
