Despite Issa Diop’s equalizer for Fulhamin the 77th minute, Liverpool held on to win 3-2 on aggregate after a 2-1 victory in the first leg at Anfield.

The win sets up a showdown with Chelsea at Wembley next month, offering Liverpool the opportunity to reclaim the trophy they won two years ago.

With Jurgen Klopp’s side also leading the Premier League race, it could mark the beginning of a successful season for the Reds.
