Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool - PLAYER RATINGS: Who was calm and unflustered for Spurs? Which Reds star is human after all? And whose final ball was not up to scratch?

Tottenham claimed a late victory at home to narrowly give them the edge against Liverpool in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Wednesday.

The first-half was overshadowed by a number of injuries which slowed play, the first and most distressing happening just minutes after kick-off when Rodrigo Bentancur had to be carried off on a stretcher after going down in the penalty area.

A nervy, elongated half followed with neither side able to get the better of one another, but Tottenham started the strong in the second, with Pedro Porro coming achingly close to putting the hosts ahead.
