Liverpool reached the final of the English League Cup by routing Tottenham 4-0 and maintained its pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple of trophies.

Liverpool were patient and practical for as long as they had to be, before tearing Spurs apart in the second half of the League Cup semifinal second leg.

Arne Slot's men turned the tie around at Anfield in some style with four unanswered goals against a sorry Tottenham side

Liverpool won the EFL Cup last season but were in the hunt for all four trophies at one point before their form dropped off towards the end of the campaign. Slot said he could not judge if the team were in better shape than last season but simply asserted they are currently "in a very good place".

Liverpool boss Arne Slot refused to shy away from the possibility of completing an unprecedented quadruple in his first season in English football on Friday as he lavished praise on captain Virgil van Dijk.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou said last year that he always wins something in his second season but Liverpool made that assertion sound hollow after a League Cup semi-final thrashing on Thursday.

Jamie Carragher and Jamie Redknapp haven't held back in their criticism of Tottenham following their defeat to Liverpool, but Ange Postecoglou insists he's taking no notice.
