Liverpool won the 2012 League Cup Final, beating Cardiff City on penalties on 26 February 2012 at Wembley Stadium.
It was the first piece of silverware Liverpool had won in nearly six years, since claiming the 2005-06 FA Cup and 2006 Community Shield.
It was also the first time Liverpool had appeared at the new Wembley Stadium, and the first time at Wembley full stop since the 1996 FA Cup Final.
Liverpool bossed possession for the majority of the game and laid seige to the Cardiff goal with a total of 39 shots, however Cardiff produced a staunch defensive display and threatened the Liverpool goal themselves on several occasions.
Cardiff took the lead through a well-worked goal in the first half, but Liverpool equalised on the hour mark when Martin Skrtel stabbed home from a corner.
Dirk Kuyt then appeared to have won the tie for the Reds in the 18th minute of extra time, but two minutes from the final whistle Cardiff equalised from a corner.
In the penalty shootout, Liverpool prevailed 3-2, despite seeing Steven Gerrard and Charlie Adam miss the Reds' first two spot kicks.
