Spurs were 3-0 down inside 15 minutes courtesy of goals from Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah
The Spurs’ substitute played a woeful back-pass straight to Diogo Jota seconds after Richarlison’s equaliser and the Liverpool striker shattered the visitors with a clinical finish past Fraser Forster. From an ordeal to a revival and back again, Spurs’ terrible record at Anfield continues.
The right back-turned-quarterback floated a pinpoint cross to the back post where Curtis Jones, left completely unmarked by Pedro Porro throughout the move, volleyed home his first Liverpool goal since September 2021. The tortured travelling support found some solace in gallows humour. “We want our money back,” they sang, before a rendition of “How shit must you be? It’s only 2-0.” That chant was soon rendered obsolete when Romero lunged into a ridiculous challenge on Gakpo just inside the area to concede the most blatant of penalties. The World Cup-winning defender still had the temerity to complain.
Up in the directors’ box Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could barely look at his team’s latest shambolic collapse. Would he have to dispense with a second interim manager of the week at this rate? There appeared a distinct possibility of further damage as Dier directed a simple pass under zero pressure straight to Andy Robertson and Harry Kane was dispossessed from behind by Salah in the same passage of play.
Romero struck the right-hand post seconds later when throwing himself at Kane’s delicate cross to steer a volley wide of the Liverpool keeper. Alisson then produced a fingertip save to prevent an angled drive from Porro finding the roof of the net.
