Southampton stand tall after outwitting Liverpool in League Cup semifinalJason Cairnduff Southampton's Nathan Redmond eludes Adam Lallana. As Southampton's Shane Long raced into the area to thrash a shot into the net and settle a tense League Cup semi-final against Liverpool, it was a moment of poignant satisfaction for the south coast club. "It is fantastic for all the squad and a good reward for their hard work," Southampton manager Claude Puel told Sky Sports. "In the second half it was difficult but now we go to Wembley, not just to participate but to win this cup." With Sadio Mane playing for Senegal in the African Nations Cup and Nathaniel Clyne out injured, Liverpool only fielded two Southampton old boys, Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana, at Anfield on Wednesday.
