Quad still on for the Kop kings

themselves on the end of heartache from 12 yards for the second time this season after suffering a similar defeat in the Carabao Cup final.

With the scores tied at 5-5, Reds keeper Alisson set up the victory by saving Mason Mount’s effort and then the Greece international Tsimikas stepped up to secure their eighth FA Cup.

Van Dijk said: “It’s another trophy – it’s been too long since the club won it. Both sides created chances, but we have the best keeper in the world.

“And Kostas deserves all the praise. He’s a fantastic guy and important to us. He stepped up. It’s massive for him and I’m very pleased for both him and the club.”

Hero keeper Alisson added: “It’s amazing. It was such a good performance, it was a shame we didn’t score.

“I just had to save the last one. It was good, hey?

“And this gives us more confidence in the Premier League and also the Champions League Final.”

Boss Jurgen Klopp is hopeful Salah’s injury is not too serious saying:

“Mo came and he said he could carry on, but felt a little thing. I hope he will be fine.”
