Former Tottenham Hotspur star, Jamie Redknapp has blamed Chelsea defender Axel Disasi after Virgil van Dijk’s winning goal for Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.
Redknapp said Disasi failed to deal with Van Dijk as the Netherlands defender scored a dramatic extra-time header against Chelsea to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory at Wembley Stadium.
“Disasi is a big man and he just did not deal with him well enough. It was not incredible movement from Virgil but he just wanted it more,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.
“It was a good flat delivery from Tsimikas and he just wanted. That is sometimes what can happen at set-pieces. He [Van Dijk] just flicks it in and it is a great header.”
