The Blues lost the match 1-0 courtesy of a late-minute header by the captain of the Reds, Virgil Van Dijk. That defeat is Chelsea’s sixth consecutive in a domestic cup which dates back to 2018 when they lost the League Cup final on penalties against Manchester City.
Liverpool’s manager, Jugen Klopp reacted to the defeat in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Southampton in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
