Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalga was on the receiving end of a 'horrible' glare from Virgil van Dijk after the Liverpool centreback converted his spot-kick at Wembley on Sunday.
With the sides unable to be separated after 120 minutes of tense action, the game had to be settled with a shoot-out and Chelsea took the opportunity to bring on penalty specialist Kepa shortly before the end of extra time.
But when the Spaniard purposely stood to one side of his goal to face Liverpool's third attempt, taker Van Dijk smashed the ball into the same corner he was covering before delivering a menacing glare at his opponent before strolling off.

Speaking on his podcast 'Wrighty's House', for Arsenal and England striker Wright joked: "I saw stuff in the Carabao Cup that was pure crazy.
"With the Virgil penalty - to see Arrizabalga standing in the corner and Virgil still put it in that corner - and then it's the way that Virgil looked at him afterwards.
"He gave him such a look of disdain, it was horrible. Virgil's horrible!"
"He's got a great look of disdain."
Liverpool went onto score all 11 of their spot kicks and it was left to the unfortunate Arrizabalga to become the only player to miss one when he blazed his effort high over the bar.
It confirmed the Reds a record ninth League Cup triumph and that panel on Wright's show agreed that Dutchman Van Dijk is now returning to peak form following last season's serious injury layoff.
Show guest Carl Anka added: "Ever since he's come back from injury, he's never really been tested on that swivel left.
"There was a moment in the Champions League match against Inter when (Lautaro) Martínez was thinking 'go on, run at him' and you could tell that Virgil was beginning to warm up and he was giving him the look to say 'I dare you to run at me'.
"And Martinez was like 'nah, I don't fancy it'."
