Luis Diaz

Kostas Tsimikas was the hero as Liverpool beat Chelsea 6-5 on penalties to win the FA Cup.

Played down the middle and dropped in deep to pick up the ball and start attacks. Had little involvement beyond that, though it was a great penalty under pressure in the shootout. Sent a tame shot straight at Edouard Mendy and failed to have much of an impact on the match. His positioning was perfect on more than one occasion, whether it be to close down a run in behind or clear a cross into the box. Hardly noticeable for much of the match, which is a compliment to someone playing that role. Stunning save in the shootout to deny Mason Mount and send his side on their way to victory.

Naby Keita squared the ball to Alexander-Arnold who hit a first time, outside of the boot pass into Diaz's path. The pass opened up Chelsea's defence, with the ...

Liverpool player ratings after the FA Cup final win over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.

Chelsea found him impossible to handle in the first 20 minutes, twice putting dangerous crosses and denied by a combination of Mendy and Chalobah when clear. Non-stop from the Senegalese, who deserved better than to miss in shoot-out. Became an influence again during the latter stages. Should have done better when hitting post from close range late on in normal time and tired. Offered Diaz plenty of support down the left and much fresher in his defensive duties. Another fine save from Pulisic after break.

Liverpool defeated Chelsea 6-5 on penalties to win the FA Cup and keep their quadruple dreams alive.

Liverpool took the advantage in the shootout when Cesar Azpilicueta struck the post. But just like when the Premier League heavyweights met in the Carabao Cup final in February, the game ended goalless after 90 minute and extra-time ensued. Andy Robertson went closest with just six minutes left when he struck the post.

Ahead of Chelsea's FA Cup final with Liverpool at Wembley, the Reds have now confirmed their team news with Jurgen Klopp making some big decisions.

"We don't know exactly if they have two or three midfielders. "We have no idea how Thomas will set up, for example, they have so many different options in offensive areas. The only thing that's clear is they defend with five in the last line.

Trent Alexander-Arnold played an exquisite pass for Luis Diaz in the first-half of the FA Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Watch the moment below… Imagine having the ability to pull off a pass of that quality with the outside of the boot. Luis Diaz was terrorising Chelsea to start the game and he was sent clear on goal in the 12th minute after a quite exquisite pass by Alexander-Arnold.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's superb defense-splitting pass to Luis Diaz should have handed Liverpool the opener at Wembley in their FA Cup final clash.
