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.

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’s Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat to Tottenham Hotspur was not just a narrow 1-0 loss – it was a humbling reminder of football’s unpredictability.
