Lucas Bergvall scored his first goal for Tottenham Hotspur to give his side a 1-0 victory over holders Liverpool in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final on Wednesday. The 18-year-old Swede rifled a superb finish past Liverpool keeper Alisson in the 86th minute to reward the injury-hit hosts who shortly before had seen a Dominic Solanke goal ruled out.

There is nothing to split Tottenham and Liverpool after the first 45 minutes of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie. Not since winning this competition 16 years ago have Spurs got their hands on some silverware, but Ange Postecoglou will be satisfied after an even opening period in north London.
