Chris Sutton has hit out at Chelsea for their approach to extra-time in their Carabao Cup final defeat against Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday.

With neither team able to find a breakthrough during normal time, an extra 30 minutes were needed to separate the two sides, and Jurgen Klopp was forced to bring on several academy graduates due to Liverpool's injury crisis.

The game appeared to be there for the taking for Chelsea, but the Blues sat back for long periods in the final half hour and were punished two minutes from time when Virgil van Dijk headed home the winner for Liverpool.
