Liverpool senior players made sure Minamino involved in Cup celebrations

Liverpool senior players made sure Takumi Minamino was involved in their Cup celebrations last night.

Liverpool's senior players ensured Minamino was given a rousing reception when he lifted the Carabao Cup after their final win.

Jurgen Klopp's side ended a 10-year wait for League Cup glory as they clinched victory over Chelsea in a 22-penalty shootout at Wembley.

Minamino had been an integral part of the Reds' cup run. He bagged a brace in the third round win at Norwich City, before maintaining their momentum with the winning goal at Preston North End.

He was unlucky not to get a minute under the Wembley arch but his team-mates ensure he received the recognition he deserved for his role in their win.

Captain Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Ibrahima Konate could be seen whipping up the crowd as Minamino lifted the trophy towards the travelling Reds, reports the Daily Mail.
