Liverpool made sure Jurgen Klopp's final season ended with a win and a trophy after Virgil Van Dijk's goal in extra time gave them a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

It was a crazy final game, with both teams having goals canceled by VAR, and the score was still tied after 90 minutes. But in the 28th minute of extra time, Van Dijk scored with a quick header from a corner kick to clinch the win for Liverpool.

Even though Liverpool had 10 main players injured, including Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nez, they fought hard with the support of their loud fans and managed to beat Chelsea.

This win kept Liverpool's hopes alive for winning four trophies in one season, and it also meant they lifted the Carabao Cup for the 10th time, which is a record.

For Chelsea, reaching the final was a good thing in Mauricio Pochettino's first tough season as coach, but they still haven't won any trophies under him.

The match had exciting moments, like when Raheem Sterling thought he scored for Chelsea, but it was ruled offside. And when Cody Gakpo hit the post for Liverpool.

There were also some injuries during the game, like when Ryan Gravenberch got hurt and had to be replaced.

But in the end, Liverpool's pressure paid off, and they won the game, leaving Chelsea still without a trophy under Pochettino.
