In the second half, Spurs had a huge opportunity to open the scoring following Bergvall’s double pressing on Alisson which ultimately paid off, the Swedish midfielder recovering the ball at the feet of the visitors’ goalkeeper to serve Pedro Porro, very close to finding the fault on a ball dived with the right foot (56th). Solanke then thought he opened the score, after having played the Reds’ defense on a vertical call upon receiving a bright opening from Brennan Johnson (78th), but the British center forward was signaled in a position to offside by a few millimeters after use of video assistance, and the cancellation of the goal was announced at the stadium by referee Stuart Atwell as part of an experiment carried out to improve the transparency of the use of VAR.
