Kostas Tsimikas was the legend as Liverpool beat Chelsea 6-5 on punishments to win the FA Cup.
It completed goalless following an hour and a half at Wembley, however Liverpool will feel they ought to have won it in typical time. Luis Diaz went close on endless events, while Andy Robertson missed two or three monstrous opportunities for the Reds.
There was very little in the method of obvious possibilities in extra-time, with respect to the second time in a cup last between these different sides this season in went to punishments.
Sadio Mane got an opportunity to win the shootout, just to be denied by Senegal partner Edouard Mendy. Alisson made an exciting recovery to keep out Mason Mount's work, making way for Tsimikas to move forward and dispatch his spot-kick to keep the fourfold dream alive.
Alisson 8
Immediately off his line to deny Marcos Alonso when called upon in the first-half, getting a thump simultaneously, and needed to make a genuinely agreeable save to keep Christian Pulisic's strike out soon after the break. Shocking recovery in the shootout to deny Mason Mount and send his side en route to triumph.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 8
At his compelling best going ahead, regardless of whether that permit Alonso to get in behind multiple times. Unfortunate not to have two or three helps, subsequent to playing dazzling balls to give splendid opportunities to both Luis Diaz and Robertson which nor had the option to take. Essential sliding test to forestall Pulisic having a chance away as well. Folded his punishment into the base corner superbly.Rarely called right into it, with his protective accomplice doing the vast majority of the work when it came to managing Romelu Lukaku. On the events he was tested one-on-one, he was more than capable.
Virgil van Dijk 7
Solid in the first-half when Lukaku attempted to stick him and monitored the Chelsea striker in general. His situating was wonderful over and over, whether it be to shut down a disagreement behind or clear a cross into the case.
Andy Robertson 6
Upheld Luis Diaz well on the left wing yet botched two huge opportunities for his side, ruining a header right off the bat in the final part prior to pounding a work onto the post from short proximity late on. Ought to have scored both.Jordan Henderson 7
The most profound of the three midfielders without any Fabinho, and finished the work astonishingly. Scarcely recognizable for a large part of the match, which is a commendation to somebody assuming that part.
Thiago 7
As agreeable as could be expected under lock and key for certain wonderful flicks, while possibly not exactly at his grand best. Looked progressively worn out as the match went on, maybe feeling the effect of a weighty test from Reece James. Cool punishment, with the assistance of the woodwork.
Naby Keita 6
Sent an agreeable shot directly at Edouard Mendy and neglected to an affect the match. Was frequently the uttermost midfielder forward for the Reds however his final result was missing overall.
Mohamed Salah 5
Scarcely had a touch before injury finished his evening with 33 minutes on the clock. Liverpool will be frantically trusting it's not sufficiently significant to place his Champions League last cooperation in uncertainty.
Sadio Mane 6
Made light of the center and dropped in profound to get the ball and begin assaults. Played several pleasant passes into colleagues, however scarcely had a sniff of objective himself. Amazingly feeble punishment was saved by Mendy.
Luis Diaz 9
Caused Trevoh Chalobah immense issues in the initial minutes - might have scored a couple and set up one more two with scarcely 15 minutes on the clock. Was a consistent danger all through, hitting the post from a tight point and sending various different shots barely wide. Chelsea were extraordinarily feeling better to see him supplanted right off the bat in extra-time.Diogo Jota (Salah 33') 6
Once in a lifetime opportunity to place Liverpool in front not long before the break which he sent over the bar, prior to hauling a shot wide in the last part. Had little contribution past that, however it was an incredible punishment under tension in the shootout.
James Milner (Keita 74') 7
Brilliant cross apparently placed a FA Cup last champ on a plate for Robertson, who tracked down the post in his direction. Would be reasonable to depict essentially all that he did as 'straightforward'. Pretty much taken care of his punishment.
Joel Matip (Van Dijk 90') 7
Called right into it not long after hitting on stop a hazardous Chelsea counter as Pulisic took a weighty touch, prior to managing Hakim Ziyech well in a made presentation.
Roberto Firmino (Diaz 98') 5
Scarcely had a touch in his 22 minutes on the pitch, in his most memorable appearance since an appearance off the seat in the semi-last win over Manchester City. Did what was expected of him in the shootout.
Kostas Tsimikas (Robertson 111') 10
Scored the punishment to win the FA Cup for his side. What more might you at any point say?
