With goals from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Dominic Szoboszlai ensured that Arne Slot’s side overcome a goal deficit from the first leg of the EFL Cup semifinal against Tottenham Hotspur. This is team’s 15th Carabao Cup final – most in tournament’s history.

The Reds have already advanced to the round of 16, so manager Arne Slot opted to take a second-string squad to the Netherlands. Along with Salah and Van Dijk, the other players who were left in Merseyside were Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Ibrahima Konate, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister and Luis Diaz.

Liverpool kept up its charge towards the Premier League title by thrashing Ipswich 4-1 and staying six points clear at the top on Saturday.

Liverpool confirmed its place in the last 16 with a 2-1 victory over Lille at Anfield. It looked set to advance as league winner until Barcelona's comeback at Estadio da Luz. Benfica led 3-1 and 4-2 in the game, but was stunned by goals in the 86th and 96th minutes from Eric Garcia and Raphinia, respectively.

Since making his debut against Fulham with a banging goal, Zirkzee has slowly faded away. He has gone through a tumultuous first six months at Old Trafford since he arrived from Italy.

United led through Lisandro Martinez's strike in the 52nd, but Cody Gakpo leveled seven minutes later. Salah fired Liverpool ahead from the spot in the 70th after Matthijs de Ligt handled in the box. The draw saw United move up to 13th in the standings.
