00:00Full-time here at Anfield and Arne Slott has guided Liverpool into his first final to take charge as head coach in summer over Jürgen Klopp.
00:12It's as comfortable as Liverpool fans could have hoped for tonight because there was a bit of nerves heading to the stadium.
00:19Liverpool excelling by a goal on Ajka Rikkers after getting beat 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month.
00:26It was as comfortable as supporters could have hoped for.
00:29The first half, Liverpool were dominant. They didn't create an awful lot of clear-cut chances.
00:33They had to be patient. Openings were a little bit hard to come by even though they were monopolising the ball.
00:40But the breakthrough arrived. Kosey Gafpoe on target yet again. He's having a prolific season.
00:47Mo Salah was having a little bit of frustration with what's become his trademark pass with outside of his foot.
00:55He found Gafpoe at the back post and he finished.
00:59In the second half, Liverpool just stepped things up and they blew Tottenham away.
01:05Minutes into the second period, they won a penalty.
01:10Darwin Nunes latched onto Mo Salah's through ball.
01:14The goalkeeper, Kinski, came out and Nunes' round to them was fouled.
01:19The referee pointed immediately to this penalty spot. Mo Salah stepped up and picked out the top corner.
01:24With a plumb, a great penalty to ensure that Liverpool were leading the tie.
01:28From there, they just completely dominated Spurs.
01:32They had a chance to Kosey Gafpoe at the post.
01:35They put the foot on the gas in the 75th minute.
01:38They ensured that the return to Wembley was confirmed.
01:41A really nice goal. Eksma Scalza's substitute drove out.
01:46Conor Bradley, who just played a really deft first-time pass for Donald to Bosley, kept his composure to finish.
01:53Five minutes later, Virgil van Dijk got in on the actor, making four.
01:57Towering above the Tottenham defence, heading home.
02:04Tottenham had one chance, maybe, through Son.
02:07Hit the bar, but it was a bit of a half chance at an angle.
02:12I'd say Liverpool were comfortable at Tottenham.
02:14Obviously, they've got their injury problems.
02:16Liverpool did what they needed.
02:18Now, a massive game next month against Newcastle.
02:20That will be really difficult.
02:22As things stand, Newcastle are in excellent form.
02:24Flying, put Arsenal to the source.
02:274-0 on Ikea, a semi-final.
02:32Liverpool are still fighting on four fronts.
02:34The FA Cup now against Plymouth.
02:36A long trip to Zeven at the weekend.
02:40Then, the Merseyside derby against Everton to come.
02:42The last one at Goodson Park.
02:44That will be a really tricky game for Liverpool.
02:46They're still fighting on four fronts.
02:48Supporters can start booking the trains and the coaches down to Wembley.
02:51They're going back there again.
02:53Looking to defend the Carabao Cup and win it for a record-extending 11th time.
02:58There's Liverpool 4-0 Tottenham, 4-1 on aggregates in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup.
