The Spurs were the better team in the final minutes of the 1st half, and Harry Kane scored in the 39th minute after a big mistake in Pool’s defense. Ivan Perisic gave the assist for Tottenham’s first goal in the game.
Heung-Min Son netted the 2nd goal for Spurs in the 77th minute after Cristian Romero’s assist. However, Tottenham shocked their opponent when in the extra time, in the 93rd minute, Richarlison scored his 1st goal in the Premier League this season to make it 3-3 after Son’s assist.
However, the drama was even more because Diogo Jota, one minute later, scored the 4th and winning goal for the Reds after a brutal mistake from Lucas Moura, who gave him the ball near the box.
