The Liverpool squad and technical staff lined up for a stirring rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone with their supporters after the club won the League Cup through Virgil van Dijk's last-gasp extra-time goal in Sunday's final at Wembley Stadium.

The website ThisisAnfield.com reported: “After clinching the Carabao Cup in dramatic fashion by beating Chelsea 1-0 at the death, Juergen Klopp joined his Liverpool players to sing You’ll Never Walk Alone.

“It was an afternoon that will go down in the history of Klopp’s storied reign, with an injury-hit side battling through to lift the Carabao Cup.

“With 11 senior players out and Ryan Gravenberch joining with an ankle problem midway through the first half, it was with a side of fringe figures and youngsters.

“After over two hours of football at Wembley, Virgil van Dijk headed home for the second time — this time, not ruled out — to seal a 1-0 victory over Chelsea.

“The first of hopefully four trophies in Klopp’s final season in charge, it was a poignant triumph for Liverpool.

“That shone through in the post-match celebrations, as Klopp, his staff and the players stood in front of the travelling Kop to join a rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone.

“With emotion etched on the faces of Klopp, and assistant Pepijn Lijnders in particular, the significance of the win, and this moment with the fans, was clear.

“Many of the youngsters involved, including Harvey Elliott and Conor Bradley, grew up Liverpool supporters themselves, but even the more recent arrivals seemed to know every word.”

Liverpool lead the Premier League by a point over chasing Manchester City and two over Arsenal.
