LONDON: Liverpool held their nerve to win the FA Cup for the first time since 2006 after a dramatic penalty shootout against Chelsea as the quadruple chasers kept their history bid alive on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

Jurgen Klopp's side won 6-5 on penalties at Wembley as Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas was the unlikely hero with the decisive kick after Alisson Becker kept out Mason Mount's effort.
