Liverpool Survive Fulham Scare To Book League Cup Final Date With Chelsea
Liverpool will face Chelsea in the League Cup final after surviving a scare in their 1-1 draw against Fulham in the semi-final second leg on Wednesday. Holding a 2-1 advantage from the first leg, Liverpool took the lead through Luis Diaz early in the first half at Craven Cottage. That should have been the signal for a comfortable evening for Jurgen Klopp's side. But they missed several chances to kill off Fulham before Issa Diop's late goal set the stage for a dramatic denouement. Liverpool barely held on under Fulham's barrage of pressure before finally clinching a 3-2 aggregate success.
