Arne Slot bemoaned Liverpool’s ill fortune as they slipped to a last-gasp 1-0 defeat at Tottenham in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final; a rare setback in an otherwise serene season.
Liverpool were expecting to see a second yellow card for the Spurs midfielder, Lucas Bergvall, after he cut through Kostas Tsimikas, who was forced off for treatment. But the referee, Stuart Attwell, spared Bergvall and, with Tsimikas still off the pitch, Bergvall ran on to a Dominic Solanke pass to score the decisive goal.
