"Stuart Attwell has given Tottenham the win", "Absolutely shocking" - Liverpool fans believe they were 'robbed' by ref inlosstoSpurs
Liverpool fans took to social media to decry referee Stuart Attwell’s on-field decision in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semifinal clash with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, January 8. Spurs secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Arne Slot’s side to put themselves within touching distance of reaching a cup final since 2021.
Before the match, Liverpool and Tottenham had already clashed in a Premier League classic that saw the Merseyside club win 6-3. However, the anticipation for another blockbuster match between both sides dwindled after Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou, before the match kicked off, said that his side would be without up to 10 first-team players.
After a goalless first half marked by end-to-end action, Liverpool began the second half by dictating proceedings. Meanwhile, Tottenham also had their fair share of chances despite their depleted team, and Dominik Solanke thought he’d given Spurs the lead in the 76th minute, but the goal was chalked off for offside.
