Liverpool run rampant against poor Tottenham Hotspur side where Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szboszlai would shine.
The first half of the second leg started a lot like the first with Liverpool putting on pressure unable to break the Spurs defence down, but the pressure was piling on for the Tottenham defence and the goal seemed inevitable.
That was the case as in the 34th minute Mohamed Salah picked out a cross to Gakpo who would score his fourth goal of the competition putting him as joint top goal scorer.
The half would end 1-0 to Liverpool and (1-1 on aggregate) with Liverpool dominating the game giving Spurs little to nothing in terms of chances.
Second half: Liverpool take control
Second half would be a dominant display from Liverpool with Spurs putting up no fight at all, the 50th minute would see the next goal where Darwin Nunez would be brought down and Mohamed Salah would give his side the lead on aggregate.
It would not stop there for the Reds as Conor Bradley's forward run would be found by Alexis Mac Allister and the Northern Irishman would put Szoboszlai who would put the Premier League leaders 3-0 up.
The final goal of the game would come five minutes later from a corner where Virgil Van Dijk would rise highest to solidify the win and top an incredible performance off and send his team to the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle on March 16th.
The Carabao Cup specialist in the net for Liverpool but not needed at all as Spurs for the first game this season did not have a shot on target.
So absolutely nothing to do for the keeper.
Conor Bradley - 8
Coming in for an injured Trent Alexander-Arnold and he showed Liverpool that Trent leaving will not be worst thing for Liverpool fans.
As Bradley was so good going forward and put in some crunching challenges defensively.
Ibrahima Konate - 7
Probably the worst performing player for Liverpool and he was really good which says a lot about their performance, recycling the play so well and keeping any chances of forming for Spurs.
Virgil Van Dijk - 8
So good again from Van Dijk dominating the whole Spurs attack and overpowering Richarlison and also got himself a goal to show for his strong performance.
Andrew Robertson - 7
A good performance from the Scotsman who has faced criticism from fans this season but recently has showed consistent performances.
Ryan Gravenberch - 8
A really good performance again this season for the Dutchman and one of Liverpool's most consistent performers under Arne Slot and really good at progressing the ball all game.
Curtis Jones - 8
Playing a newish role today in the 6/8 rather than the 10 he has been playing all season and he took to it like a fish in water and controlled the midfield alongside Gravenberch.
My Man of the match today, he was absolutely everywhere and showed so much quality compared to the Tottenham team and really bullied him, he also showed the quality in the final third which has been one of his flaws.
Mohamed Salah - 8
Started off the goals creating Gakpo's goal and just unlocked the Spurs defence all game at will, also scored the penalty which gave the team the lead over two legs.
Cody Gakpo - 9
Caused so many problems all game and forced Archie Gray move from right back to left back because he was getting so much freedom and got the first goal in the leg.
Darwin Nunez - 8
Found so much space in behind the Spurs defence and that was the reason for the second goal where he won a penalty which Mohamed Salah tucked away.
-
Liverpool Substitutes
Diogo Jota - 7
Caused a few problems for the defence of Tottenham but the game was practically over after 10 minutes of him being on the pitch.
Alexis Mac Allister - 8
Unlocked the Spurs defence for the third goal getting the pre-assist and also put in a lovely corner for the Van Dijk goal.
Harvey Elliott, Luis Diaz, Jarell Quansah - N/A
Came on in the last 5-10 mins when it was 4-0 and nothing to play for.
