As Joe Allen’s penalty sent Liverpool through to the final of the League Cup, Liverpool players both past and present made their feelings known.
Securing progress to their first cup final in five years, Liverpool’s penalty-shootout win over Stoke City on Tuesday night provided supporters and players alike with a memory to cherish.
Though the performance of Jurgen Klopp‘s squad left a lot to be desired at Anfield, the result was all that mattered.
As Anfield erupted, a host of Reds stars took to social media to celebrate.

This victory is clearly hugely important to the club, with Klopp’s side closing in on the first piece of silverware of the German’s reign.
