Goal: Lucas Bergvall (86e)
Not crazy, Wednesday night matches…
In this League Cup semi-final first leg this Wednesday evening, Tottenham overthrew Liverpool at the very end of the match (1-0). After a first act to forget, marked by the absence of clear opportunities and the worrying exit on a stretcher of Rodrigo Bentancur after a bad fall on a cornerwhich lasted almost 11 minutes, the match gradually got carried away in the second half: following a completely missed recovery from Alisson, Porro had the opportunity twice to open the scoring for the Spurs but the Spanish international saw his first attempt blocked before missing the target (56the).
Despite a shower of changes, the Reds by Arne Slot struggles to be dangerous. Fortunately, Mohamed Salah sparks and perfectly compensates for Darwin Núñez in the penalty area, but the Uruguayan center forward comes up against Antonin Kinsky (69th).e) before Radu Drăgușin pushes back an attempt from Trent Alexander-Arnold (71st) on the linee). The pace does not drop, on a lightning counter-attack, Dominic Solanke thinks to deliver his own, but the goal is refused for an offside of a few millimeters (76e). Frustrating, but Lucas Bergvall, who could have been excluded a few seconds earlier for a muscular tackle, allowed Ange Postecoglou’s men to win: served by a beautiful cross behind Solanke, the young Swede crucified Alisson with an unstoppable flat foot ( 1-0, 86th).e). THE Spurs inflict a second setback on Slot since the start of his era with the Reds. Nothing is over yet, because there will be a return match which will take place next Thursday February 6.
-Cruel.
