It was then a case of shutting the door and ensuring Liverpool did not become the first team to breach Southampton's rearguard in the League Cup this season. We were fantastic in the first leg at home and tonight we had chances in the first half. "In the second half it was difficult but now we go to Wembley, not just to participate but to win this cup." Daniel Sturridge wasted two glorious opportunities to level the tie, but after they went begging Liverpool again struggled to break though a resilient Saints rearguard. "They won both games, they deserved it," said Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp, whose side have now won only once in their last seven games in all competitions.
