Tottenham Hotspur have beaten Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final against Liverpool thanks to Lucas Bergvall 's first goal for the club. The opening goal came just moments after the 18-year-old perhaps should have been shown a second yellow card for a foul on Kostas Tsimikas.

Lucas Bergvall earned Tottenham a slim lead over Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. A match lacking in talking points will be overshadowed by the injury to Rodrigo Bentancur who collapsed in the early stages of the first half and needed to be subbed off the pitch and taken to hospital.

Liverpool "don't need" to use frustration caused by Lucas Bergvall's contentious late winner for Tottenham as motivation ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg, Reds captain Virgil Van Dijk has said.
