Jordan Henderson lifts the FA Cup after Liverpool's shootout win over Chelsea. Wembley Stadium, London (CNN) There is something about this Liverpool team.

Just as in the League Cup final, a scoreless 120 minutes belied the quality of the match. Robertson hit the post with seven minutes to go before Diaz again took aim. Again, Alonso was denied from getting on the scoresheet, this time by the crossbar as his menacing free-kick hit the woodwork. The match was just minutes old when Liverpool got its first chance. It was entertaining. It was breathless.

"Like in the last final, the League Cup, no regrets. Shortly after, Pulisic's pass gave Marcos Alonso a sight of goal, but Alisson was off his line quickly to deny the Chelsea defender. Liverpool were on top early with Luis Diaz a particular threat. "We played 240 minutes in two finals against maybe the most dangerous attacking team in the world and it's 0-0." The win was Liverpool's eighth in the 150-year history of the FA Cup, drawing them level with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Arsenal have won the most with 14. It was a carbon copy of the League Cup final in February, which Liverpool won 11-10 on penalties after that game also finished goalless.

Alisson gave a towering performance which culminated in a decisive save, while Romelu Lukaku had a day to forget.

Luis Díaz The winger had the beating of Chalobah during the early stages but his end product was lacking. Mohamed Salah The Egyptian looked weary before limping off in the 33rd minute. Thiago Alcântara The Spaniard was a controlling presence in the middle, although he was lucky to escape when Mount picked his pocket. He had more to think about when James began to push higher. He was there to force Lukaku to fire over. He had a few unconvincing moments defensively but also made some important tackles. Trent Alexander-Arnold There was an amazing ball to release Díaz and some devilish crosses. The message did not get through to the lethargic Lukaku. Unsurprisingly substituted. 6 Marcos Alonso He lacks pace but had a reliable game. 6 6
