Bellamy seals it for Liverpool

Four managers have come and gone, countless millions has been squandered on players not good enough to wear the shirt and many a tear has been shed.

But 16 years after their last Wembley appearance, Liverpool are back at the famous venue in the final of theCarling Cup after Craig Bellamy, the former Manchester City striker, sealed a thrilling aggregate victory over the Premier League leaders on the most dramatic of nights at Anfield.

A journey that started in Exeter back in August and included stops at Brighton, Stoke, Chelsea and the Etihad Stadium, will now conclude on February 26 at a venue where Liverpool have not played since Eric Cantona sent them home in tears in the 1996 FA Cup final.
