    Bobby Clark has just done a post-match interview. It is the first time I have seen him up close and my word does he look like his dad.

    Liverpool

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, speaking to Sky Sports about the injury to Ryan Gravenberch: "There were two teams fighting very hard, and the referee didn't have the level of the game. It was not even a foul?! Then the fourth official explaining we cannot give a card... good idea. This situation was obvious for me, everything you need for a card.

    "They did an x-ray [on Gravenberch], it is not broken but the ligaments got something. I actually feel really bad, but everything else is really good."

    On playing Southampton in the FA Cup fifth round on Wednesday: "We don't have a team right now for Wednesday. The guys who came on can maybe play again, the rest will get treatment on Monday.

    "I love this country to bits, but the schedule is not made for winning a lot. We will see the price we have to pay, but we fight for everything then we see what comes next.

    "Somehow against Southampton there will be a team in Liverpool shirts."

    On the celebrations: "I finally found my family in the stands, they were very happy. The rest, I need to process."

    "The craziest thing is we deserved it. We had lucky moments, they had lucky moments. The boys showed up, it was really cool."

    On the young squad: "I am sure we brought on all the kids! We needed fresh legs, they were fresh but very young, but they did the job.

    "The boys have trained for a long time with us, they know exactly what we have to do. They are a pain, to be honest, that is what you have to be in these moments. But not only them, how about Harvey Elliot for 120 miutes, [Wataru] Endo walked to the ceremoney with the stiffest legs.

    "We didn't mention Conor [Bradley], he was so good. Caoimhin [Kelleher], he was so good. We have the best keeper in the world and the best number two."

    When you work with elite players, like Alisson, it rubs off on you.

    You can think what's the point in training all the time when you know you have a world class player in front of you.

    Caoimhin Kelleher deserves so much credit, he is so resilient and you have to have such a great attitude for every occasion and he deserves it.

    Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, speaking to Sky Sports: "Amazing, an amazing evening. We got the job done, I'm proud of the team."

    On Caoimhin Kelleher: "He's world class, and he stepped up again today. He's a good keeper, what we need at a club like Liverpool.

    On the young players: "When you're younger and get an opportunity you have to grab it with both hands. They should use this to kick on, and I'm sure they will, they should keep pushing to get close to the first team and be part of the squad. Being part of this as a teenager only benefits you."

    On it being Jurgen Klopp's final season at Liverpool: "I won't speak too soon, but hopefully we can win a few more.

    "The talk about it being Klopp's last season is not from within the squad, that is from the outside."

    Liverpool's players and manager are in no rush to leave the pitch while their fans are still in the stands, singing away.

    Ryan Gravenberch is on crutches with a protective boot on. He will no doubt have been gutted to go off so early but he is loving this moment right now.

    I'm really disappointed with Chelsea in that extra time period.

    You can lose any game of football but you cannot shrink, you cannot go back.

    Particularly when Liverpool have five kids on the pitch. You have to go for their throat.
