Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel's decisions and team selection were crucial to his side's defeat to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.The two sides played out an enthralling 0-0 draw before the Blues succumbed to an 11-10 defeat from 12 yards in the penalty shootout.Tuchel's goalkeeping decisions proved crucial, with Edouard Mendy producing a string of important saves after starting in place of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was crucially subbed on for the shootout.So, here is the one thing that the Chelsea boss got right and the two things he got wrong as Chelsea beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.Prior to Sunday’s final, Kepa had played in each of Chelsea’s five matches in this season’s competition, but Tuchel chose to drop his cup goalkeeper in place of his first-choice keeper.His gamble paid off, though, as Mendy made a fine double save to keep the match goalless during the first half, first parrying a long range strike from Naby Keita before springing up to deny his Senegal team-mate Sadio Mane.The Chelsea keeper then made two more huge saves late on in normal time following chaos in the penalty area.Mendy was, however, denied the chance to perform any penalty heroics as he was replaced by Kepa for the shootout.Despite the decisions Tuchel got right, Chelsea missed a host of chances as they failed to capitalise on their dominance, with Romelu Lukaku left on the bench.Mason Mount was the worst culprit as he squandered countless golden opportunities during the match, including hitting the post.The lack of their £97.5million striker certainly hampered Chelsea’s killer touch in front of goal, with several instances where the ball was put into promising areas with no one there to finish.Tuchel’s side

Liverpool came out on top in a dramatic penalty shootout to edge past Chelsea at Wembley to clinch Carabao Cup glory.Both sides were indebted to their goalkeepers in an action-packed first half, with Caoimhin Kelleher thwarting Christian Pulisic early on before Edouard Mendy pulled off a spectacular double-save to keep Chelsea on level terms.Mohamed Salah spurned a golden chance after the break before Joel Matip saw a header chalked off by VAR.Kai Havertz had two goals ruled out for offside along with Lukaku, who was denied once, before the lottery of penalties ensued.In a dramatic shootout, it was Kepa Arrizabalaga who missed the decisive penalty after all 20 outfield players succeeded from the spot to hand Jurgen Klopp his first League Cup.Daily Star Sport highlights six things you might have missed from an enthralling finale at Wembley...The Reds arrived at Wembley on the verge of creating history - and they got the job done to clinch a record-breaking ninth League Cup triumph.They made hard work of it though.Chelsea had numerous chances to snatch the initiative before the game went to spot-kicks.And Kepa's late miss ensured the Reds etched their name into the history books at Wembley in the most dramatic of fashions.Do you think Liverpool deserved to lift the Carabao Cup? Comment below.The Blues may have had the shorter trip for Sunday's final at Wembley, but their recent record under the arch has been a rotten one.Chelsea had lost their last four domestic finals before their showdown with the Reds.And unfortunately for Thomas Tuchel's men, it was more capital punishment for the Blues when it was all said and done.The decision to send penalty specialist Kepa on backfired to leave the Londoners glum again after a trip
