Alexander-Arnold hails Diogo Jota as Liverpool booked EFL Cup final against Chelsea

Liverpool UK January 21 ANI Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold praises Diogo Jota after the Reds cruised booked the summit clash against Chelsea in the EFL Cup on Thursday.

The Merseyside club claimed a 2 -- 0 win at Arsenal in the last-four second leg to set up a showpiece date against Chelsea on February 27.

That will be the first chance for Alexander-Arnold - who set up both of Diogo Jota's goals in the victory at Emirates Stadium - to represent his club in a final at the national arena.

The full-back reflected on a satisfying performance against the Gunners in an interview with Sky Sports. He said: "We never gave them too many chances, if any," they had free-kick early doors. We kept them at bay, but we didn't really give them too many chances and we created a couple ourselves. Diogo's first goal was outstanding from him, the type of player he is. He has done outstanding again, again, the second goal. He is a world-class player in the best way he's found himself in the club so far. The full-back said that he's going to get a win in the final and that we'll be able to get a win.
