CHELSEA goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic says the club's "new generation" must use the pain of yesterday's Carabao Cup Final defeat to a young, injury-hit Liverpool side to fuel success under Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues were ridiculed for the extra-time defeat against a team full of academy players at Wembley, with the side branded "billion-pound bottlejobs" by Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville.
Virgil van Dijk's 118th-minute header sealed an emotional victory for Jurgen Klopp's side, who were missing 10 injured players, including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Trent Alexander-Arnold, with Ryan Gravenberch going off on a stretcher midway through the first half. Liverpool ended the match with Jayden Danns, 18, Bobby Clark and James McConnell, both 19, and Jarell Quansah, 21, on the pitch, alongside 20-year-old starters Conor Bradley and Harvey Elliott.
