Chelsea and Liverpool footballers will compete for the English League Cup, for whom a 1:1 draw was enough to advance in today’s semi-final rematch at Fulham’s field. They won the first match 2:1. On Tuesday, Chelsea outclassed second-division Middlesbrough 6-1, to whom they lost 0-1 in the opening game.
Díaz sent league leaders Liverpool into the lead today in the 11th minute. Diop equalized in the 77th minute, but the home team did not score another goal despite the pressure.
The final at Wembley will be played on February 25. Liverpool can win the League Cup for the tenth time and improve their record balance even more. Chelsea have won this trophy five times.
