Liverpool’s route to the Carabao Cup finalBy PA Sport StaffLiverpool head to their second Carabao Cup final in three seasons this weekend looking to extend their own competition record of nine victories. Cody Gakpo’s shot on the turn levelled things up just after the break, Szoboszlai smashed home and Diogo Jota’s cheeky backheel clinched victory. Darwin Nunez’s goal was worthy of winning any cup tie on a filthy night on the south coast. Gakpo made it three in as many cup ties but Curtis Jones was the real star with two goals. Szoboszlai opened the scoring with another long-range strike and Mohamed Salah scored a trademark breakaway before Jones’ driving run completed the scoring.

They’ve obviously not heard of Ireland’ ]Many things are done differently in India and Ireland, says Kumar, but “there are pros and cons”. That and the Irish sense of humour, paired with the different accents she encounters across the country, are some of her favourite things about Irish people. “That sense of humour actually makes stuff pretty easy, as in, even if someone has to say something, when it is with a bit of sense of humour, it makes the communications a lot easier,” she says.
