Spurs' new signing Antonin Kinsky ran straight over to the crowd after his 'dream came true' against Liverpool and it was incredibly emotional

Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was visibly emotional after making his much-anticipated debut for the club in their Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Liverpool.

The 21-year-old, who joined from Slavia Prague on Sunday for a reported £12.5 million, was thrown into the deep end as Ange Postecoglou's side came up against league leaders Liverpool.

But he marked the occasion with a clean sheet and six saves as Spurs secured a one-goal advantage coming into the second leg on February 6 thanks to a controversial winner from Lucas Bergvall.

After the full-time whistle on Wednesday night, an emotional Kinsky ran straight over to the crowd to embrace his sister, who travelled to the game alongside their family.

"[I was hugging] my sister. Yesterday, I got to know that there was a possibility I was going to be playing," he told Sky Sports in his post-match interview. "I called and they came, my sister, her boyfriend and my parents."

Kinsky added: "It was so nice to have them here for this. I hope my dad is proud."

The goalkeeper, who is said to have attracted interest from Newcastle United, Brighton and Celtic, went on to describe it as the best night of his life.

"I'm a big dreamer," he added. "I make my own vision of the future. This dream, I had never dreamt this one. I'm so happy, I came three days ago and everyone is so nice."

Many praised his debut performance for the Lilywhites, including Spurs striker Dominic Solanke.

"He looked like a natural out there, like he's been playing and training with us for years," he said. "Especially at his age, to come in and have the impact he did so soon, it's a big credit to him.

"To have him at the club now is great for us. We're going to need him, we have a lot of big games coming up."

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou was another to hand out praise for the young shot-stopper.

"We sensed his confidence when we first spoke to him," he said. "That is a big occasion for a young lad and he handled himself outstandingly."
