Liverpool will not get carried away by lofty expectations of winning a quadruple this season, captain Virgil van Dijk said after his side thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at Anfield to set up a League Cup final clash with Newcastle United.

Virgil van Dijk scoffed at Troy Deeney’s suggestion that Liverpool are on course for an unprecedented quadruple following last night’s 4-0 demolition of Tottenham. Arne Slot’s relentless winning machine comfortably overturned a one-goal deficit at Anfield last night as Spurs were put to the sword in ruthless fashion.

Virgil van Dijk escaped a red card after elbowing Richarlison in Liverpool's second-leg clash of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham, which they won 4-0.
