Ticket in hand to the final. Liverpool drew 1-1 away to Fulham in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final. The Reds, after a 2-1 draw in the first leg, will now play Chelsea on 25 February. Luis Diaz, the Reds' usual goalscorer, opened the scoring. The Colombian came in from the left after a long pass, beat one opponent, fended off another, and shot perfectly low to the near post past the keeper 11 minutes into the first half.

And to think that their opponents had started a little better and had twice attacked with intent. Liverpool continued to dominate, despite the resistance of their opponents, who also came close to the goal. It was a deserved pass for the Reds, who, in addition to Diaz, had other important South American players in their ranks, such as Argentinian central midfielder Alexis MacAllister and Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez. Both were replaced 21 minutes into the second half.
A short while before, in a great play by the Colombian, he gave the ball to the Uruguayan, who tried to increase the score, but the Fulham goalkeeper pushed his great low shot to the far post for a corner, 12 minutes into the second half. France's Issa Diop equalised in the 33rd minute, after a fine assist from the left, cutting into the six-yard box and scoring as if he were a striker with a nose for goal. Still, it was not enough for Fulham to take anything more.
