Alisson Becker was the spot-kick hero as Liverpool secured another penalty shoot-out triumph against Chelsea to win the FA Cup and keep their quest for an unprecedented quadruple alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 76 days after the Reds edged past Thomas Tuchel\u2019s men on penalties following a scoreless Carabao Cup final, Wembley witnessed another gripping clash between these sides that went down to the wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing could split them after 90 minutes and extra time again, with Alisson coming up trumps in the shoot-out as Liverpool won their first FA Cup since 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edouard Mendy prevented Sadio Mane striking the winner after Cesar Azpilicueta had hit the post, only for the Brazil goalkeeper to deny Mason Mount before Kostas Tsimikas struck to seal a 6-5 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the quadruple may eventually prove out of reach given Manchester City\u2019s Premier League advantage

kupbezrecepty.com<\/a><\/p> , Jurgen Klopp\u2019s Reds still have a shot at Champions League glory to come as a superb season heads towards a memorable conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wembley was rocking to Liverpool\u2019s beat at full-time, just as it was in the opening minutes as they flew out the blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Chelsea saw out the early storm and began to ask questions at the other end in a first half that saw Reds star Mohamed Salah limp off injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcos Alonso\u2019s audacious free-kick hit the bar during a rampant Chelsea start to a topsy-turvy second period, which ended with Luis Diaz and Andrew Robertson striking the post for Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That pulsating half made way for a tepid period of extra time between exhausted sides that raised themselves for penalties, which ended with red smoke and Liverpool cheers filling the air.<\/p>\n
