What Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk did to Hishalisson stimulated Tottenham fans' emotions.
Liverpool center back Van Dijk was caught up in an elbow issue two minutes after the second leg of the 2024-2025 Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) semifinal against Tottenham at Anfield in Liverpool, England, on the 7th (Korea time).
Van Dijk touched Hishalisson's chin with his left elbow as he blocked his breakthrough. At that moment, Hishalisson hugged his face and complained of great pain. Lying on the lawn, I couldn't stand up for a long time.
There was no card. Referee Craig Ponson appears to have decided there was no intention. Video reading system (VAR) was also disabled.

British broadcaster ITV host Ally McCoist responded to the scene saying it was a "clear foul." He raised his arm to prevent a breakthrough by Hishalisson. A bit aggressive? I used my elbows to hit my chin."
The Tottenham fan expressed his anger. According to the soccer media GoalCom, one Tottenham fan said 'Van Dijk knows exactly what he did. Such a foul is too much to be called an accident. It's the fourth time this season alone, and another fan also said 'For the third time this season 'accidentally' hit the opponent in the face'.
Some fans listed the list of victims including Kai Havertz (Arnall), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Dominic Solanke (Tottenham) and Dango Watara (Bonemouth).
One fan will also be sent off in real time if all players at other clubs commit the same foul except 'Van Dijk'. Tottenham must stop the game now, he insisted.
Van Dijk, who overcame the disciplinary crisis, blocked Tottenham with a 'null shot' for 90 minutes. Cody Hakpo, Mohamed Salah and Dominic Sobosler scored his team's fourth goal with a header in the 35th minute of the second half, leading the team to a 4-0 victory.
Liverpool, which lost 0-1 in the first round, won 4-1 on aggregate to advance to the final. They will compete with Newcastle at Wembley on March 17.
Hishalisson suddenly complained of injury in the first minute of extra time in the first half and was replaced by 'new' Matistel and withdrawn to the bench.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min started as a left striker and played full-time for 90 minutes. Son Heung-min, who was isolated on the side in the 'Battle between Adults and Children', swallowed his regret in the 32nd minute of the second half when his mind's shot hit the post.
