Liverpool crowned Carabao Champions
Kepa Arrizabalaga missed the decisive spot-kick as Liverpool lifted the Carabao Cup after winning a penalty shootout at the end of a remarkable final.
11-10 it would finish, with every player scoring until it got to the final of the 22 men to take part.
It was a brilliant 120 minutes at Wembley despite the scoreboard not being troubled, with both sides missing huge chances and having goals ruled out.
Romelu Lukaku had his turn to have a strike ruled for offside in extra-time, before Kai Havertz found the back of the net for a second time but was once again greeted by the linesman’s flag.
