Liverpool will face Chelsea on February 27 in the League Cup final, the second English cup tournament. Jürgen Klopp’s team won 2-0 at Arsenal with two goals from Diogo Jota. Last week the game was goalless.
Arsenal seemed to have a slight advantage after the 0-0 of a week earlier, but were disappointed. After a fine first fifteen minutes, including a free kick by Alexandre Lacazette against the bar, the level of the Londoners dropped.
Liverpool, still without Africa Cup-goers Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, gradually took the initiative and saw Jota score. The Portuguese trumped opponent Takehiro Tomiyasu, cut in and passed goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
