Trent Alexander-Arnold has delivered his response after Liverpool booked their place in the Carabao Cup final with a 4-1 semi-final aggregate win over Tottenham.

Trailing 1-0 following the first leg, Arne Slot's side started on the front foot and took the lead on the night in the 34th minute through Cody Gakpo. Although the tie was locked 1-1 on aggregate, it felt as though there was only going to be one winner from that point on.

And that proved to be true as Liverpool ran riot in the second half. Mohamed Salah put the Reds ahead on aggregate from the spot, before Dominik Szoboszlai gave them a two-goal advantage. Virgil van Dijk, meanwhile, put gloss on the scoreline late on from corner.

It meant the Reds would run out 4-0 winners on the night and 4-1 on aggregate to secure a place in the final against Newcastle United at Wembley on Sunday, March 16.

After the match, star right-back Alexander-Arnold, who was not involved against Tottenham in the second leg due to injury, issued his reaction on social media. The 26-year-old shared two Instagram stories - one of which included the Liverpool full-time post and other was the confirmed Carabao Cup final.

Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Slot delivered his reaction after reaching his first final since replacing Jurgen Klopp last summer. He said in his post-match press conference: "Pleasant! Although if you know me a little bit, [you know] my thoughts are more on Sunday already than thinking about a final in a month.

"Our performance today was something that pleased me most.

"Reaching a final should always be special, even for this club. This club is used to playing finals, but still then we are working very hard every single day to try to improve players – and the players want to improve themselves every single day – but we are also in this business to play finals.

"We already know how difficult the final is going to be because we faced Newcastle already and they were very impressive yesterday as well.

"But, [there are] many games to be played before this final and this is where our focus should be at."
