Supporters of Chelsea showed dissatisfaction with their squad's ability to score goals as they missed multiple opportunities during the Carabao Cup final.
On Sunday, during the match at Wembley Stadium, both teams had opportunities to score, but they couldn't clinch the win in regular time. As a result, the game went into extra time with neither team managing to score any goals.
During the first period of the game, Raheem Sterling scored a goal that was later invalidated after a reassessment by the Video Assistant Referee technology.
After taking a break, Jurgen Klopp's team, which had several injured players, appeared to have scored the first goal. However, their effort was disallowed because of an offside, which triggered an angry response from Liverpool supporters on social media.
Acting as a substitute for Alisson as the goalkeeper for the Reds, Irish goalie Caoimhin Kelleher had to make several strong saves as the second-half was drawing to a close.
The supporters of Chelsea expressed sadness about their team's ability to score goals towards the end of the Carabao Cup final.
Caoimhin Kelleher stopped the Blues from scoring more than once as they played against each other at Wembley.
Mauricio Pochettino's team was unable to score the first goal, causing them to become increasingly dissatisfied during the match. A draw was the end result.
In the stoppage time, Cole Palmer of Chelsea seized a great chance to score and take the lead by hitting the ball from a close distance after a rebound.
Kelleher used his right foot to shoot, and although Chelsea tried to recover the ball when it became loose, the goalkeeper, who is 25 years old, saved it again, extending the game beyond the scheduled 90 minutes.
Fans of Chelsea expressed their disappointment on social networking sites about their team's inability to score a last-minute goal despite having multiple opportunities to do so.
Someone commented: 'We should have defeated this pathetic Liverpool squad a while back. This is truly humiliating. We have almost zero talent when it comes to finishing.'
Another person concurred, saying "I am not bothered about losing the game at this point because the Chelsea players lack the necessary skill level. Regardless of the outcome, Pochettino did an excellent job. Unfortunately, we cannot achieve victory."
Another supporter mentioned that the deadlock between the two teams dates back to before their recent game on Sunday: 'It's been 330 minutes of football at Wembley without a goal from either Liverpool or Chelsea.'
The stalemate persisted during the additional period, with both teams failing to create a goal opportunity in the initial 15 minutes at Wembley.
The match seemed like it would most likely end in a penalty shootout until Van Dijk once again made a crucial impact by scoring the goal that put Liverpool in the lead after playing for over two hours.
