LIVERPOOL, Feb 7 — Liverpool overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit to book their place in the League Cup final with a resounding 4-0 victory over Tottenham, piling pressure on Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou. Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Virgil van Dijk all found the net, sending the Reds to Wembley on March 16 to face Newcastle.
Liverpool remains in contention for a remarkable quadruple under new manager Arne Slot. They currently top the Premier League by six points, have reached the Champions League last 16, and visit lower-league Plymouth in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
Spurs, meanwhile, continue a trophy drought stretching back to 2008 and could lose another chance if they falter against Aston Villa in the FA Cup this weekend. Postecoglou, whose side sits 14th in the Premier League, faces mounting speculation about his future.
Despite bigger prizes on offer, Slot named a strong XI to chase his first piece of silverware, while injury-hit Tottenham handed debuts to new signings Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel. Liverpool’s emphatic display at Anfield saw Gakpo become the League Cup’s top scorer this season, with Salah converting a penalty and Szoboszlai and Van Dijk sealing the rout late on. — AFP
