Lucas Bergvall’s first goal for Tottenham secured a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the English League Cup semifinals.

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.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk believes it was "pretty clear" Lucas Bergvall should have been sent off moments before scoring the winner for Tottenham against the Reds on Wednesday night. Bergvall struck an 86th-minute winner to earn Spurs a 1-0 victory over Liverpool and a slender advantage after a cagey Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.
