Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 in the second leg of their EFL Cup semifinal. Here are the players who surprised — and the ones who disappointed.

Liverpool outclassed a blunt Tottenham team 4-0 on Sunday to book their spot in the Carabao Cup final, but Virgil Van Dijk said he was disappointed with parts of his side's performance.

Virgil van Dijk scoffed at Troy Deeney’s suggestion that Liverpool are on course for an unprecedented quadruple following last night’s 4-0 demolition of Tottenham. Arne Slot’s relentless winning machine comfortably overturned a one-goal deficit at Anfield last night as Spurs were put to the sword in ruthless fashion.

Holders Liverpool punched their return ticket to Wembley and a League Cup final against Newcastle United after a 4-0 rout, and 4-1 aggregate victory, over a toothless Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Thursday.

New Tottenham signings Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel are available for Thursday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool. Ange Postecoglou likely faces a choice between Danso and Archie Gray alongside Ben Davies at centre-half after revealing that Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are not fit enough to start at Anfield.
