Tottenham beat reigning champions Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of their semi-final tie on Wednesday night. Lucas Bergvall, who could have been sent off just moments earlier, scored a late winner

Eighteen-year-old Lucas Bergvall's first goal for Tottenham has given his side a precious 1-0 lead to take to Anfield in their Carabao Cup semi-final with Liverpool - although it was a controversial winner.

Lucas Bergvall’s first goal for Tottenham secured a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the English League Cup semifinals on Wednesday in a first-leg match notable for a serious-looking injury to Rodrigo Bentancur and the first in-stadium announcement by a referee in the English game.

Lucas Bergvall's first goal for Tottenham gave them a 1-0 lead over Liverpool, with the second leg still to come next month.

Tottenham Hotspur are a dangerous opponent and Liverpool will have to work to prevent them from enforcing their style of play when the sides meet in a League Cup semi-final first-leg clash, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday.
