ANGE POSTECOGLOU referred to a little-know rule as he claimed Lucas Bergvall was correctly not sent-off against Liverpool. The 18-year-old midfielder was the hero for Tottenham, scoring the winner

Virgil van Dijk called it a “quite obvious” mistake from referee Stuart Attwell, but Postecoglou claimed after the match that the rules had been correctly applied. “The rule is - and we’ve been told for quite a while now - that if advantage gets played, as long as it’s not a cynical tackle the yellow card does not [get shown],” he told Sky Sports.

Referee Stuart Attwell made the historic first in-stadium VAR announcement to disallow a Dominic Solanke goal in Tottenham Hotspur’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win over Liverpool on Wednesday, but Lucas Bergvall’s late winning goal was the game’s most controversial moment.
