Using curl to download golang tarball produces strange result

I was trying to install golang on Ubuntu 21.10. This requires downloading the golang tarball and extracting it to a particular place on the filesystem. First I tried:

curl -O https://go.dev/dl/go1.17.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz

which simply created a file with following text:

<a href="https://dl.google.com/go/go1.17.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz">Found</a>.

The same command output with verbose flag :

$ curl -v https://go.dev/dl/go1.17.7.linux-amd64.tar.gz

The tarball download works fine with wget command. I tried reading more about the difference between the two and feel that the curl should have worked. I never had issues with using curl before when downloading archives for e.g., linux source tarball. I am really not sure if the issue is with the curl or the golang server. Any explanation would be helpful.
