Liverpool: Harvey Elliott backs Jurgen Klopp to deliver unprecedented quadruple after Carabao Cup win

Harvey Elliott insists Liverpool can win the quadruple in Jurgen Klopp's final season after beating Chelsea in the Carabao Cup Final.

An injury-hit, exhausted and youthful Liverpool team beat the Blues 1-0 on Sunday, as Virgil van Dijk headed home a 118th-minute winner at Wembley Stadium.

The Reds remain top of the Premier League table and are in the latter rounds of the FA Cup and Europa League.

Elliot, 20, who played the full 120 minutes against Chelsea, was asked whether Liverpool can win English football's first-ever quadruple. "I think so [that we can win all four]," the winger said. "It's going to be hard but we are in the best possible position to do that. Today was a massive help but it will be down to us. If we show the desire and hunger then who knows [what we can achieve] at the end of the season?"

Last month, Klopp announced he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season. It added emotion to a Carabao Cup occasion, which Klopp described as "easily the most special trophy" he has ever lifted.

Liverpool were forced to use players from the academy with ten big names out injured, including Trent-Alexander Arnold, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez. Ryan Gravenberch was stretched off midway through the first half and Wataru Endo left the stadium in a protective boot.

A host of young talents like Conor Bradley, Jarell Quansah, Bobby Clark, Jayden Danns and James McConnell helped a threadbare Liverpool over the line against an expensively assembled Chelsea squad.

Asked what he thought of lining up alongside those youngsters, Andrew Robertson said: "What are our options? We've got 45,000 expecting Liverpool fans. We couldn't feel sorry for ourselves.

"We went out with everything we've got and more and got a winners' medal. That's all that matters in cup finals."

He added: "We see them every single day and it is not a risk… what else are we meant to do? That was the bench we had today and we see their quality in the training ground daily. We didn't believe it was a risk.

"It was just about them expressing themselves. Credit goes to the academy and the coaches. You know how much work they put in. Also, the experienced players, manager and coaches just said go out and play with freedom. This is the biggest stage; enjoy it, and don't come off with regrets.

"I thought they were all different class. Bobby [Clark], especially. I thought he took the game by the scruff of the neck. It's incredible. You need your academy, especially when you have so many injuries. We were getting tired, but they brought on fresh legs. McConnell brought composure on the ball. Some lads have never played a full game for the first team. We tried to help them and luckily it paid off. We are very proud. The oldest player on the pitch got the goal. So the experienced lads helped out as well."
