It looked like both teams would be heading to Anfield next month with the tie goalless after a cagey affair in North London.

But Bergvall produced a wonderful finish after Dominic Solanke had carved out an opportunity using his pace and strength.

Tottenham overcame an early injury scare to Rodrigo Bentancur and contained the visitors – something they failed to do in a 6-3 defeat to the Reds last month.

They came close to scoring through Pedro Porro when Alisson had to ball taken off his toe, while they also had Radu Dragusin to thank after he blocked a goalbound effort off the line.

Spurs even had the ball in the back of the net 15 minutes from time but Solanke was deemed to be offside following a review by VAR.
