Liverpool beat Chelsea to lift 2022 FA Cup

Liverpool defeated Chelsea FC of London 6-5 on penalties to lift th2 2022 English FA cup thanks to Alisson Becker’s spot-kick heroics that secured another penalty shoot-out triumph against their arch-rival.

Just 76 days after the Reds edged past Thomas Tuchel’s men on penalties following a scoreless League Cup final, Wembley witnessed another gripping clash between the two Premier League giants.

Nothing could split them after 90 minutes and extra time finished goalless again, with Alisson coming up trumps in the shootout as Liverpool won their first FA Cup since 2006.

Edouard Mendy prevented Sadio Mane from striking the winner after Cesar Azpilicueta had hit the post, only for the Brazil goalkeeper to deny Mason Mount before Kostas Tsimikas struck to seal a 6-5 penalty win.
