Everybody had their impact in a strained, hot last of the most seasoned cup contest in world football, yet who sparkled and who had a match to neglect?
Chelsea (4-3-3)
Edouard Mendy
No late replacement for Kepa this time. Tuchel probably trusted it was goalkeeper's day. Mendy offered harsh opposition while saving from Luis Diaz in the eight moment and kept up with his difficult streak. 7/10
Reece James
Taking into account when and how to push forward, he probably had the expressions of The Clash ringing in his ears… 'Would it be a good idea for me I stay or would it be advisable for me I go?' With Diaz tormenting Chelsea's right side, it was by and large more astute remaining. 7/10
Trevor Chalobah
At the point when Chalobah was left one-on-one with Diaz it was enticing to contact the Met Police to report a destroying. Chalobah was uncovered multiple times in the initial eight minutes before his colleagues offered crisis help. 6/10
Thiago Silva
At the point when the speed decreased to somewhat above common, Thiago was fine. So too when Liverpool were diminished to pointing careless crosses into the punishment region. Less agreeable when Klopp's side played at a higher beat, yet safeguarded gallantly. 7/10
Antonio Rudiger
Looking for a goodbye before he joins Real Madrid - and maybe offering pointers to his future partners - he saw off the harmed Salah and confronted an alternate test with Jota. His experience was fundamental when tension developed. 7/10
Marcos Alonso
A for the most part inquisitive figure on the left, got among guarding and offering an outlet. He emerged for the final part like a man had, two times nearly scoring, nearest while hitting the bar. A greater amount of a going after weapon than safeguard. 7/10
Marcos Alonso's immediate free-kick hit the woodwork after half-time

Mateo Kovacic
Gambled notwithstanding wellness issues. Chelsea's midfield was overwhelmed for extensive stretches and his incorporation didn't actually pay off. He was at last supplanted by Kante after an ineffectual evening. 5/10
Jorginho
Couldn't impact midfield similarly as his contrary number Thiago. Had a few decent minutes in the two parts, yet couldn't direct the rhythm as he can when at his best. 6/10
Bricklayer Mount
Burned through the majority of the evening on the edges of the edges of the outskirts. Always truly unable to impact procedures. Wretchedness intensified when he missed unequivocal punishment in the shoot-out. 6/10
Christian Pulisic
When a Klopp player at Dortmund, he gave a portion of Chelsea's most undermining minutes. Had Chelsea's most memorable possibility following 22 minutes, striking wide, and constrained Alisson to save soon after half-time. 6/10
Romelu Lukaku
It looked like Lukaku was planning for an appearance on Mastermind. Expert subject? The items in Van Dijk's pocket. Great possibility in first half injury time when he struck over. Subbed before the end after to a great extent unknown showcase. 6/10
Romelu Lukaku was sublimely managed by Virgil van Dijk
Chelsea subs
Kante for Kovacic
Ziyech for Lukaku
Azpilicueta for Chalobah
Loftus-Cheek for Pulisic
Barkley for Loftus-Cheek
Kante's energy helped Chelsea, yet it was an unfortunate evening for Loftus-Cheek, supplanted by Barkley having before supplanted Pulisic. Different subs battled to make their presence felt.
Liverpool (4-3-3)
Alisson
Had a watching brief when Caoimhin Kelleher was the punishment shoot-out legend last time. His mind blowing punishment save from Mason Mount guaranteed he took the praises on this event. Section two of the fourfold was in his grasp. 8/10
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Had Diaz scored from Alexander's lavish pass it could have gone down as one of the FA Cup's extraordinary helps. To give one second like that in a round of such height ought to be sufficient. He might have had more helps. 7/10
Virgil Van Dijk
His duel with Lukaku generally could characterize. Van Dijk looked content with an objective man as the focal point of his consideration. His flight before the beginning of extra-time was a colossal worry for Liverpool, nonetheless. 7/10
Ibrahima Konate
Liked to Joel Matip, his speed an important resource. Looks more developed with each excursion and seems to have supplanted Matip as the inclined toward accomplice to the Dutchman. One of only a handful of exceptional players who didn't look knackered toward the end. 8/10
Andy Robertson
Partaking in a thriving left wing association with Diaz. Such a lot of energy descended the Liverpool left, Klopp's disappointment being there was no unmistakable compensation for the early danger. Reached a dead end in additional time. 7/10
Andy Robertson nearly won it late on yet his work bounced back off the post
Jordan Henderson
Back as the No.6. It's not his best position, and Chelsea's short snapshots of strain came when they found holes in Liverpool's midfield, their sprinters ready to take advantage of Fabinho's nonappearance. Developed into the game and was compelling. 7/10
Thiago
After his breakdown in the warm-up before the Carabao Cup, it was a help he came to start off. As against Manchester City in the semi-last, he involved Wembley as his jungle gym. At the point when Liverpool directed the beat, Thiago was organizing. 7/10
Thiago was his typical quiet, tasteful self in the Liverpool midfield
Naby Keita
Fabinho's physical issue allowed Keita the opportunity to demonstrate his value, attempting to squeeze high, yet it sometimes left Liverpool helpless on the counter-assault. Hit a dead end and supplanted by Milner. 6/10
Mohamed Salah
Another last, one more early exit for the Egyptian whiz. He was subbed harmed following 32 minutes. It was a stressing sight for the Liverpool's physios as Van Dijk went along with him later. Presently faces a test of skill and endurance to be good for Paris. 5/10
Sadio Mane
The total No.9 since January. He might have been the punishment legend, just to see his spot kick saved. That would have been a full go-around of unequivocal spot kicks in this schedule year. An assuage man today. 7/10
Luiz Diaz
Liverpool's headliner on their last two Wembley visits. He made it a full go-around. Begun splendidly and moved along. All that was missing was the objective his exhibition merited. Hair-raising and man-of-the-match 8/10
