Tottenham Beat Liverpool 1-0 in Controversial League Cup First Leg

Lucas Bergvall’s late goal handed Tottenham a controversial 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final on Wednesday. The 18-year-old’s strike, which came with just four minutes remaining, sparked frustration from Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who felt Bergvall should have been sent off earlier for a foul on Kostas Tsimikas.

Despite the drama surrounding Bergvall’s eligibility to remain on the pitch, Tottenham celebrated their hard-earned win, which was marred by an injury scare for Rodrigo Bentancur.
