Liverpool trail Spurs 1-0 in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg although the game was shrouded in controversy.

Arne Slot spoke to the media after Liverpool lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup semifinal first-leg tie on Wednesday night

Liverpool's 24-match unbeaten run has come to an end in the most unlikely fashion losing 1-0 to Tottenham in the first leg of the EFL Cup semifinal behind a goal from Lucas Bergvall. With the goal, Bergvall has become the youngest player to score for Tottenham in the EFL Cup since Gareth Bale in September of 2007.

Lucas Bergvall's first goal for Tottenham gave them a 1-0 lead over Liverpool, with the second leg still to come next month.

Liverpool "don't need" to use frustration caused by Lucas Bergvall's contentious late winner for Tottenham as motivation ahead of their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg, Reds captain Virgil Van Dijk has said.
