EFL Cup semi-final first leg results

January 16th, 2017 08:58

Highlights of the EFL Cup Semi-final first-leg between Manchester United v Hull City and Southampton v Liverpool

Southampton will go into their EFL Cup semi-final second leg at Anfield against Liverpool with a 1-0 lead after a dominant display by the Saints at St Mary's Stadium. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp who had a bad day at the office, admitted goalkeeper Loris Karius was key to keeping Liverpool's hopes of EFL Cup victory alive against Southampton by stopping them from scoring more goals. Saints manager Claude Puel rued a string of missed chances as Southampton failed to put Liverpool completely out of the EFL Cup after the semi-final first leg. A confident Southampton will hold on for victory and a spot in the final at Wembley as they battle Liverpool in the return match! Claude Puel's side have the edge ahead of the second leg at Anfield, thanks to Nathan Redmond's first-half strike. Things should have been much better for the Saints, however Redmond failed to convert three clear chances. Liverpool were unable to score a single goal and seemed to be only a shadow of their usual selves throughout the clash. The Reds are lucky not to be completely out of the tie.

Southampton’s Nathan Redmond scored the only goal of the game but also had first-half chances saved by Loris Karius on either side of his strike. The defeat follows draws against Sunderland in the Premier League and Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup, meaning Liverpool have gone three without a win for the first time this season. To date, the Reds have conceded more Premier League goals than any other team in the top six. Jurgen Klopp admitted that Southampton’s 1-0 win over Liverpool was deserved. "We should have been more clear in our passing," said Klopp. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was sorely missed in the Reds’ three-game winless run. Henderson left the field with injury during the second-half of their win over Manchester City. Sadio Mane's absence was also felt. Philippe Coutinho returned from injury for the final half hour in the defeat to Southampton

"You could see immediately just in a few moments how important he is," said Klopp.

Looking ahead, Jose Mourinho will not rest his Man United first-team regulars for the EFL Cup semi-final second leg tie against Hull since the Portugese manager believes the semi-final against Hull is massively important in terms of potential silverware for his club. United are potentially three games away from Mourinho’s first Manchester United trophy since replacing Louis van Gaal as manager last summer, with the side preparing for their second tie against Hull and a potential final trip to Wembley if they emerge triumphant. Mourinho has his eyes firmly set on lifting the trophy at Wembley when next month’s EFL Final takes place and will face Hull with all the power they have.

Mourinho’s record in the EFL Cup is better than his main rival. Jürgen Klopp who reached the final last season. Of note, Antonio Conte’s and Pep Guardiola’s maiden EFL Cup campaigns ended in early elimination. Arsene Wenger and Mauricio Pochettino have never won the trophy. However, Mourinho won the trophy twice with Chelsea.

“For big clubs, a competition is a competition. I was never good at choosing competitions. You get a very busy fixture list but you are in these competitions to try and win,” he added. “I always felt it is a cup. I won it twice in Cardiff but at Wembley the meaning is better. Why not try. We are going to try. Hull have a new manager, Marco Silva, an intelligent guy who will organize his team for sure. We will try.”

    Superb! Easy to purchase a ticket. I had a live customer service chat once, the staff member was so polite, helpful and informative. I loved the communication after purchase. On the match day they contacted me on WhatsApp if I want an upgrade on my tickets for free and after my confirmation I got my tickets within a minute. Great experience, thank you.

    This is the best and most trusted website to get your tickets to any world event. I have used them 3 times throughout the years, I have used other sites for football matches and they are so transparent and fast, the first time I used them was in 2018 for a Roma match and then made the mistake to use a different site for the PSG match in April and they were terrible, from the website, customer service and responses. this is the only site I trust and use!

    Bought 2 Club Wembley tickets less than 48 hours before the Championship Play Off Final. Good communication and tickets arrived the following day by email. No problems getting into the stadium and seats were great. Unfortunately my team’s performance was the only let down. Would definitely use this company again.

    It was easier than I thought to find a group of seven seats together and very simple to book. Communication was excellent, the tickets were sent quickly and were easy to access, so no problems at the stadium. Seats were good and we had a great view. Everything worked well and I'll definitely be back for tickets again - many thanks!

    I flew all the way from Australia to watch Arsenal vs Burnley. They have amazing customer service. They answered and replied to all my inquiries within a few minutes. I received the ticket on time, and the instructions and support were excellent. It was my first experience, and I will definitely use their service again in the future.
