Kenny Daglish has dedicated his Liverpool side's Carling Cup semi-final victory over Manchester City to the club's fans.
The Reds won the tie 3-2 on aggregate after drawing 2-2 with City at Anfield last night (25th January), reaching their first Wembley final in 16 years in the process.
It comes after a testing time for the Merseyside club, with new American owners taking over in 2010 and Luis Suarez being banned for eight games after being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
Speaking to BBC Sport after the match, Dalglish drew attention to the difficult period and said that reaching the final was "a fantastic reward for the supporters".
He added that it was also good for the owners as it's their first final: "For everybody connected with the club, it's a great reward".
They will now face Cardiff in the final after the Welsh side beat Crystal Palace on penalties on Tuesday.
