Bradley MOCKS Chelsea's Ben Chilwell with celebratory Instagram post

Liverpool youngster Conor Bradley has mocked Chelsea's Ben Chilwell with a celebratory social media post, after their Carabao Cup final victory.

The picture showed Bradley standing in-front of the Chelsea captain on the day, with his arms outstretched and seeming unbothered by the confrontation.

His caption made no reference to the battle with Chilwell but his Liverpool team-mates were quick to laugh at the picture choice by Bradley.

Central defender Ibrahima Konate - who played 106 minutes at Wembley - commented a series of 'laughing emojis' and wrote: 'YES!!!'.

After the match on Sunday, Liverpool Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for his youngsters who featured in the victory over Chelsea.
