Fulham player ratings - 'Anonymous' 3/10 but 'gamechanger' 8 in Liverpool defeat

It wasn't to be for Fulham on Wednesday night as a respectable draw against in-form Liverpool wasn't enough to book a ticket to Wembley for the Carabao Cup final.

The Cottagers needed to overturn a 1-0 deficit against the Reds and an early Luis Diaz goal made that task doubly hard as the Colombian pounced on a slow Timothy Castagne. Marco Silva's side slowly worked themselves back into the fixture and piled on the pressure after a second-half goal from the unlikely source of Issa Diop.

Defeat in the semi-final will hurt, but a draw against rampant Liverpool on any other night would be a praiseworthy result for Fulham. Here's how the players got on.
