Spurs fans will enjoy what Lucas Bergvall did to Bentancur at full-time

Alasdair Gold has revealed that an interesting moment took place after the final whistle at Anfield on Thursday, with Lucas Bergvall reminding his more senior Spurs teammate about one of his duties.

A sorry performance from Tottenham Hotspur

In many ways, reaching the Carabao Cup final would have papered over the cracks of what has been a disastrous season for Tottenham so far.

The elimination from the tournament on Sunday, and particularly the nature in which Spurs were dumped out, forced those associated with the club to contend with the reality of their plight this season.

Tottenham struggled to impose themselves on the game and failed to register a single shot on target for the 90 minutes as the Reds emerged comfortable 4-0 winners.

The Tottenham players understandably looked embarrassed and distraught at the final whistle after failing to even compete in what was the biggest game of their season so far.

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold reveals that an emotional-looking Bentancur was heading straight towards the tunnel in the aftermath of the 4-0 loss.

However, the Uruguayan was stopped by Lucas Bergvall, with the 18-year-old reminding his teammate to go over to applaud the 6000 away fans who made the long trip to Merseyside to watch that abject performance.

Alasdair Gold rips into senior Spurs players

It was a night on which Ange Postecoglou needed his experienced players to step up and grab the game by the scruff of the neck.

However, the likes of Son, Bentancur and Bissouma were among the worst players on the pitch as they looked like dear caught in headlights in the magnitude of the occasion.

Gold added in his column: “Bentancur was nowhere near the worst player in a Spurs shirt on the night, but it was a moment that summed yet another night when Ange Postecoglou’s senior players forgot their role and looked like debutants wracked with fear while the younger ones showed the fight and fearlessness that the night needed.

“The entire Postecoglou ethos is about being brave and bold, while taking the game to the opposition no matter the circumstances. This performance was anything but. It was timid, meek and terrified at times.”
