Former Tottenham Hotspur star Jamie Redknapp has reacted to Chelsea’s defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Redknapp in a statement singled out Chelsea defender Axel Disasi for blame after Virgil van Dijk’s winning goal for Liverpool at Wembley Stadium.

According to Redknapp, Disasi failed to deal with Van Dijk as the Dutch defender scored a dramatic extra-time header against the Blues to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory.

“Disasi is a big man and he just did not deal with him well enough. It was not incredible movement from Virgil but he just wanted it more,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.

“It was a good flat delivery from Tsimikas and he just wanted. That is sometimes what can happen at set-pieces. He [Van Dijk] just flicks it in and it is a great header.”

Jurgen Klopp will be leaving Liverpool this season with another trophy to his name.
