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.

Tottenham Hotspur emerged victorious against Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinals taking a one goal advantage to Anfield. Liverpool failed to win for the second game in a row after drawing with Manchester United last weekend in the Premier League.

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.
