Liverpool Dominates Tottenham in Carabao Cup Semi-Final Second Leg

In an electrifying display at Anfield on February 6, 2025, Liverpool secured their spot in the Carabao Cup final by thrashing Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in the second leg of the semi-final. Cody Gakpo opened the scoring, setting the tone for a match where Liverpool's dominance was clear from the outset. Mohamed Salah added to the scoreline with an unsaveable penalty, while Dominik Szoboszlai showcased a masterclass performance, capped by his goal.

The match was further highlighted by a brilliant assist from Conor Bradley leading to Szoboszlai's strike, and a commanding header by captain Virgil van Dijk from a Mac Allister corner in the closing stages. This comprehensive victory overturned the narrow 1-0 deficit from the first leg, ensuring Liverpool's progression to face Newcastle in the final at Wembley.

Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, struggled to find any rhythm, appearing passive both with and without the ball, as noted by the manager in post-match comments. Despite the loss, Tottenham's focus now shifts to a crucial Premier League game against Aston Villa. For Liverpool, this win not only marks their continued pursuit of silverware but also boosts their momentum at a critical juncture of the season.
