The match also saw referee Stuart Attwell make the first in-stadium announcement of a VAR decision in English soccer history.
LUCAS Bergvall's first goal for Tottenham secured a 1-0 win over Liverpool in the English League Cup semifinals on Wednesday in a first-leg match notable for a serious-looking injury to Rodrigo Bentancur and the first in-stadium announcement by a referee in the English game.The 18-year-old Bergvall slotted home the winner in the 86th minute following a pass from Dominic Solanke, who thought 10 minutes earlier that he had given Tottenham the lead.
Liverpool, the defending League Cup champion, saw its 24-match unbeaten run in all competitions come to an end and there was a hint of controversy about only the team's second loss of the season.Visiting players and manager Arne Slot were unhappy that Bergvall was on the field to score what proved to be the winning goal after he es-caped collecting a second yellow card for a foul on Kostas Tsimikas moments earlier.
