Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher admits that it was a "big relief" for both him and Steven Gerrard to win the Carling Cup yesterday.

Liverpool's Jamie Carragher has admitted that it was a "big relief" to win the Carling Cup.

The Reds just came through against Championship side Cardiff following a 3-2 victory in the penalty shootout after a dramatic 120 minutes which ended 2-2.

Carragher said that the victory took the weight off both his and fellow Anfield veteran Steven Gerrard's shoulders.

"It has been too long [without a trophy]," said the 34-year-old centre-back, who came on as a late substitute at Wembley.

"We're coming to the latter stages of our career, myself and Stevie, and because we have gone so long without winning anything you don't want to finish your career going seven or eight years without.

"It was a relief for both of us to get a trophy, for ourselves and the club."

Both Carragher and Gerrard have been with the Reds since academy level.
