Read our privacy policy Gary Neville wrote the headlines when he made a decisive statement in the aftermath of Virgil van Dijk’s winning goal for Liverpool against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final. The game looked like it might go to penalties without a goal, just like the 2022 final had done between the two sides, but Liverpool’s captain and most experienced player timed his run perfectly to head home a Kostas Tsimikas corner with just three minutes of extra time remaining. When the final whistle blew, Neville, proclaimed as co-commentator on Sky Sports: “ Klopp’s kids against the blue billion-pound bottlejobs”. Van Dijk made up for the earlier missed effort with the header in the final minutes of the game, as Liverpool’s injury hit side was populated with children.
