Liverpool reached the final of the English League Cup by routing Tottenham 4-0 on Thursday and maintained its pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple of trophies. Goals from Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk at Anfield overturned Spurs' 1-0 lead from the semifinal first leg to seal a 4-1 aggregate victory.

Holders Liverpool punched their return ticket to Wembley and a League Cup final against Newcastle United after a 4-0 rout, and 4-1 aggregate victory, over a toothless Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Thursday.

Virgil van Dijk scoffed at Troy Deeney’s suggestion that Liverpool are on course for an unprecedented quadruple following last night’s 4-0 demolition of Tottenham. Arne Slot’s relentless winning machine comfortably overturned a one-goal deficit at Anfield last night as Spurs were put to the sword in ruthless fashion.
