Ange Postecoglou falls to his knees in despair after Pedro Porro fails to convert golden chance against Liverpool

ANGE POSTECOGLOU dropped to his knees in despair after Pedro Porro failed to convert golden chance against Liverpool.

Tottenham were on top for most of their first leg Carabao Cup semi-final against Arne Slot‘s side.

Spurs frustrated fans as they missed several chances to take the lead against Liverpool.

But Postecoglou couldn’t believe his eyes when Porro missed two brilliant chances in succession from close range in the 55th minute.

Alisson was caught napping on the ball by Lucas Bergvall, who brilliantly chased down the Brazilian in his area.

The hard-working 18-year-old then re-emerged behind the sloppy Brazilian to poke the ball into Porro’s path.

Porro’s first time shot was blocked by Virgil van Dijk before the ball bounced out to Bergvall, who put Porro through again.

But the Spanish full-back failed to convert from eight yards as he chipped wide with the goal gaping.

A perplexed Postecoglou turned to his bench in disbelief before falling to his knees in agony.

It’s been a sluggish start to 2025 for Liverpool, who dropped points against Man Utd on Sunday and were below their best tonight.

Meanwhile, Spurs midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was rushed to hospital after a sickening fall inside 15 minutes.

The midfielder landed awkwardly after attempting to head the ball unchallenged at a corner.

Former Anfield striker Dominic Solanke had a brilliant finish disallowed after he was judged to have been marginally offside.

But Bergvall stole the show when his first club goal put Spurs 1-0 up in the 86th minute.
