A late goal from Lucas Bergvall clinched the win for Tottenham, although the game was overshadowed by a serious injury to Rodrigo Bentancur.

Before kick-off, a fun exchange occurred as Spurs’ young mascots prepared to step onto the pitch.

The kids were brimming with excitement, eager to see football’s finest stars.

Among the players, the loudest roars were directed at Liverpool’s Van Dijk.

The Dutch defender is regarded as one of the best in the sport, holding a Premier League title and a Champions League trophy from his time at Anfield.

Nonetheless, one cheeky Tottenham mascot boldly suggested that it was time for Van Dijk to trade Liverpool for Ange Postecoglou’s squad.

The spirited mascot made the playful remark as Van Dijk exchanged high-fives with him and the other mascots.

He even jokingly claimed that Tottenham “haven’t got any good defenders” during this light-hearted encounter.
