Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox football match The 2022 EFL Cup Final was the final of the 2021–22 EFL Cup. It was played between Chelsea and Liverpool at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on 27 February 2022. The match saw no goals in the initial 90 minutes or the additional 30 minutes of extra time and went to a penalty shoot-out; each of the first 21 kicks in the shoot-out was scored before Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga missed his to give Liverpool an 11–10 victory and a record ninth EFL Cup title.[1]
It was the first EFL Cup final since 2017 not to feature Manchester City, who had been knocked out in the fourth round by West Ham United.[2]

Chelsea, as a Premier League team involved in the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League, started in the Third Round. Their first match was at home to fellow Premier League side Aston Villa. Timo Werner put Chelsea ahead in the second half, only for Cameron Archer to equalise for Villa. The match went to a penalty shoot-out, which Chelsea won 4–3.[3] In the next round, they were again given a home draw against a Premier League side, this time Southampton. Chelsea again took the lead through Kai Havertz just before half-time, but Ché Adams equalised just after the interval to again take the tie to a penalty shoot-out, which Chelsea again won 4–3.[4] In the quarter-finals, Chelsea received their first away draw, coming up against West London rivals and fellow Premier League side Brentford. The match went goalless until 10 minutes from the end, when Brentford's Pontus Jansson scored an own goal, before Jorginho sealed a 2–0 win for Chelsea with a penalty.[5] In the two-legged semi-final, Chelsea drew yet another Premier League side in London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. In the first leg at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea won 2–0; both goals came in the first half, first from Havertz before Tottenham's Ben Davies scored an own goal.[6] In the return leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a 1–0 win thanks to a goal from Antonio Rüdiger was enough to put Chelsea through to the final 3–0 on aggregate.[7]

As another Premier League team involved in the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League, Liverpool also started in the Third Round. Their first game of the competition was away to fellow Premier League club Norwich City, which they won 3–0; Takumi Minamino opened the scoring in the first five minutes, and Divock Origi also scored early in the second half before Minamino scored his second goal with 10 minutes left to play.[8] Liverpool received another away draw in the Fourth Round, where they defeated EFL Championship side Preston North End 2–0, thanks again to goals from Minamino and Origi.[9] Liverpool were 3–1 down at half-time in their Fifth Round match at home to Leicester City, with two goals from Jamie Vardy and one from James Maddison either side of one from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain; Diogo Jota pulled a goal back midway through the second half, before Minamino scored his fourth goal of the competition in the fifth minute of injury time to take the game to penalties. After Caoimhín Kelleher saved Luke Thomas' kick, Minamino had the chance to win it for Liverpool, only to shoot over; however, Ryan Bertrand missed with Leicester's next attempt, allowing Jota to give Liverpool a 5–4 shoot-out win.[10] They were drawn against Arsenal in the semi-finals, but an outbreak of COVID-19 in the Liverpool squad meant the first leg had to be postponed after the team's training facility was shut.[11][12] In what was originally meant to be the second leg at Anfield, Liverpool failed to score despite having a man advantage for almost three quarters of the game after Granit Xhaka was sent off, and the game finished 0–0.[13] In the delayed second leg, Diogo Jota scored both goals at the Emirates Stadium to send Liverpool to the final.[14]
Pre-match
This was Chelsea's ninth League Cup final and Liverpool's thirteenth – the latter is the most appearances of any club in this competition.[15] It also meant that Chelsea's manager Thomas Tuchel had led them to the finals of the UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and EFL Cup within a year of being appointed.[16]
This was the sides' second meeting in a League Cup final, having met in 2005, when then-Chelsea manager José Mourinho guided the club to its first trophy since the 2000 FA Charity Shield. They also met in three more title-deciding matches, the 2006 FA Community Shield, the 2012 FA Cup Final, and the 2019 UEFA Super Cup; Chelsea won in 2012, and Liverpool won the other two meetings.Шаблон:Fact
Match
Team selection
Following Liverpool's semi-final second leg victory over Arsenal, manager Jürgen Klopp confirmed that goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher would play in the final; Kelleher had only missed one EFL Cup match during the season – the fourth-round win over Preston.[17] In a much-publicised move, Chelsea started the game with Kai Havertz in the central attacking position rather than Romelu Lukaku. Liverpool were forced into a late change as an injury to Thiago Alcântara in the warm-up meant Naby Keïta came into their starting lineup and Harvey Elliott came into the substitutes.[18]
Summary
Chelsea started the game stronger, creating the first clear chance of the game in the sixth minute, when Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher parried a shot by Christian Pulisic. Gradually Liverpool grew into the game, with increasing intensity, culminating in a double save from Chelsea goalkeeper Édouard Mendy after efforts from Naby Keïta and Sadio Mané. Luis Díaz, lively on the left wing, was the standout player for Liverpool, with much of their play focused on that side of the pitch. Towards the end of the first half, Mason Mount had a clear chance but spurned it wide. The first half concluded with Liverpool enjoying most of the possession, but with Chelsea having the better chances. Chelsea created five chances in the first half with Havertz contributing four and César Azpilicueta one. The German would go on to end the game with five chances created, the most in an EFL Cup Final since David Silva. However, Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold exceeded that number with six chances created.[19]
Four minutes into the second half, Mount was presented with yet another good opportunity, only for him to hit the post after Kelleher seemed beaten. In the 69th minute, Liverpool thought they had taken the lead via a Joël Matip header, but the goal was ruled out after the video assistant referee (VAR) intervened, judging that Virgil van Dijk, from an offside position, had fouled Reece James in the build-up. Both Liverpool and Chelsea continued to create chances, but neither side was able to score during regulation time.[20]
In extra-time, Chelsea had goals from Romelu Lukaku and Kai Havertz ruled out for offside. Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was brought on for Mendy for the penalty shoot-out. Both teams scored their initial five spot kicks, and the shoot-out went to sudden death. All ten outfield players from both sides converted their penalties to make it 10–10. Liverpool's goalkeeper Kelleher then scored his team's eleventh penalty. With Liverpool leading 11–10, Arrizabalaga stepped up to take Chelsea's eleventh, but he shot over the crossbar, meaning Liverpool had achieved a record ninth EFL Cup win, their first in a decade, and Jürgen Klopp's first domestic cup as Liverpool manager.[21]
