Liverpool endured a disappointing evening as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Reds struggled to break down a resilient Spurs defense, with Lucas Bergvall's late strike proving decisive.
The crucial moment came in the 85th minute when Bergvall scored his first goal for Tottenham, expertly converting a pass from Dominic Solanke. Liverpool pushed for an equalizer but were denied by solid defensive displays from Spurs goalkeeper Alisson and defender Radu Dragusin.
Liverpool also saw a potential equalizer ruled out for offside after a VAR review. Despite several attempts, the Reds were unable to capitalize on their chances, leaving them with a deficit to overturn in the second leg at Anfield.
The match was also marred by an early injury to Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, who was forced off the pitch. Despite the setback, Spurs maintained their composure to secure the narrow victory.
Liverpool will now focus on the return leg at Anfield, where they will aim to turn the tie around and keep their hopes of reaching the Carabao Cup final alive.
