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.
