LIVERPOOL got their teenage kicks at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup and
leave a crushed Mauricio Pochettino still waiting for his first trophy in English football.
In a remarkable game, Virgil van Dijk headed the winner in extra-time to become Liverpool's oldest-ever scorer in a Wembley final at the age of 32.
But this triumph was more about the newcomers than the old-timers.
That's because somehow Liverpool managed to beat Chelsea with three teenagers finishing the game who had made just 15 appearances between them.
One of them, Jayden Danns, only made his debut last week, while Liverpool also ended the clash with two more aged just 20.
Who was it who said you don't win anything with kids? And the irony will not be lost on Chelsea, who paid the price for some schoolboy finishing to leave Pochettino crestfallen. Chelsea have lost their last six domestic finals, while Pochettino's wait for silverware on these shores goes on and on.
