Tottenham secured an important victory against Premier League leaders Liverpool in the first leg of the Carabao Cup.

Spurs headed into the game looking to take their revenge on the Reds following their 6-3 defeat a few weeks ago in the EPL.

They were able to secure a narrow 1-0 victory over Arne Slot’s men and take the advantage to Anfield for the second leg.

As it happened

Arne Slot made a few changes to his side to face Tottenham, with Trent Alexander Arnold moved to the bench.

Tottenham manager also made a few, with Son Heung-min returning to the starting eleven alongside Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur.

Just 10 minutes into the game, Bentancur, who just returned to the team, was substituted due to an early injury.

The game went on until the half-time whistle, with Tottenham failing to open the scoring despite having the better chances.
