Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp pointed out that Bergvall's continued presence on the pitch fundamentally altered the game dynamics, stating, 'Tsmikas was off the pitch receiving treatment when Bergvall scored. So not only do you still have Bergvall on the pitch, it changes the shape of the game.' This suggests that the incident significantly impacted how the match unfolded, raising questions about the correctness of the officiating decisions.
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou defended the officiating by referring to the game's laws, asserting that Bergvall's situation was in accordance with regulations. He stressed, 'the laws of the game mean Bergvall wasn't lucky to stay on the pitch,' implying a deep-seated belief that this incident highlighted broader issues within football officiating and its evolving standards.
