A deserving boast! The Reds have won the EFL Cup a record nine times!
A Liverpool update post-Sunday:
Yesterday, Liverpool followed up their EFL Cup triumph on February 27 by beating Norwich 2-1 to reach the FA Cup last eight for the first time under Jürgen Klopp.
Takumi Minamino, an unused substitute at Wembley, opened the scoring in the twenty-first minute when he drove in from close range after being teed up by Divock Origi. The Japan international made it 2-0 twelve minutes later when he fired a great strike into the roof of the net after being left unmarked at a corner.
The Canaries replied once – in the seventy-sixth minute – but that was it! This is the first time in the Reds' history that they have beaten the same team four times in a single campaign.
On the same day too, Celtic maintained their three-point advantage in the Scottish Premiership as second-half goals from Cameron Carter-Vickers and Callum McGregor broke down a stubborn St Mirren side.
The 2-0 victory extends Celtic's unbeaten league run to 23 games. At least on the home front, they are a force to be reckoned with!
