After playing for extra time, Virgil van Dijk scored an amazing goal, helping Liverpool win the Carabao Cup against Chelsea.
During the regular time, the Dutchman’s goal with his head was not allowed because the referee thought he was offside based on a subjective decision involving Wataru Endo. But soon after, he scored another goal on his 42nd try as penalties were about to happen.

In an exciting final at Wembley, Liverpool took advantage of their energetic fans’ support, even though they had many young and inexperienced players on the field due to injuries.

Van Dijk helped Liverpool win a trophy in Jurgen Klopp’s last season. Some players were injured, and the match got tougher after a bad tackle. Klopp had to rely on young players, and they did well in a great game with many shots on goal. The goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, made some excellent saves. Despite challenges, Van Dijk won and became the captain in the summer.

After winning, Van Dijk shared his feelings in an interview with Sky Sports, saying, “I’m really proud of the young guys on the team during extra time.” Both teams played fiercely; we had chances just like they did.
