After a subdued first half, the match gained momentum in the second.
The Independent stated that Trent Alexander-Arnold, introduced as a substitute, had a shot cleared off the line, while Dominic Solanke’s goal was disallowed by VAR for offside.
With the game seemingly destined for a draw, Solanke delivered a pinpoint pass to Bergvall, who scored his first senior goal for Spurs, giving the hosts a crucial edge heading into the second leg at Anfield.
