Liverpool star Joe Gomez full of praise for the Reds fans at Wembley
Joe Gomez has lavished praise on Liverpool fans, hailing them as ‘the best in the world’ following the Reds’ remarkable Carabao Cup final triumph at Wembley, affectionately dubbed ‘Anfield South’ among the Liverpool faithful.
In a memorable clash against Chelsea on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp’s resilient side secured a 1-0 victory to lift the League Cup for an unprecedented 10th time. The winning goal came from none other than captain Virgil van Dijk, who headed home in extra time to seal the triumph.
What made this victory even more remarkable was the absence of the majority of our senior players due to injury, with Ryan Gravenberch also being stretchered off in the first half of the game because of a reckless challenge from Moises Caicedo. Despite the adversity, Liverpool dug deep and found a way to emerge victorious with Joey playing a crucial part in our win coming on for Gravenberch and then slotting into his natural right-back position, pushing Conor Bradley in the middle of the park.

“Honestly, I’m not one for cliches but I generally think we have the best in the world,”
“It’s credit to them. I hope they realise that and how much it means to us. We just get that [boost] and it helps us so much. That is one thing we are all grateful for.”
