The claim that 'go' and 'went' belong to the same lexeme is a standard linguistic truism regarding suppletion in English inflectional morphology, so no citation is needed.
In inflectional morphology, different word-forms of the same lemma or lexeme include irregular historical forms like 'go' and 'went' (suppletion). This is basic linguistic knowledge (common knowledge) and does not require empirical verification from literature.
