Slowly but surely Liverpool turned up the heat. Their runners off the ball posed questions, especially up the channels. Their press became an increasing problem for Spurs. They dominated possession. Liverpool came to camp in the Spurs half and they had the ball in the net for what they thought was 1-0 when Salah fizzed one up the channel for Dominik Szoboszlai to sweep home, but the midfielder was offside.
Kinksy got his fingertips to a Salah volley that bounced down and reared up on 44 minutes, although he still needed the top of the bar to help him out. At the other end, Richarlison had gone down with what looked like a muscle injury – yet another for Spurs. Liverpool had played on. Richarlison beat the ground in frustration and it is probably worth reporting that sympathy was in short supply from the Kop for the former Everton player.
Kinsky was in the spotlight at the start of the second half. Liverpool brought still more intensity and the goalkeeper did well to repel a Szoboszlai header from a corner. And yet moments later, when Salah played a teasing ball into the area for Núñez, it was possible to foresee the disaster. The Uruguayan was always going to be too quick, Kinsky was never going to pull out of the attempt to claim the ball. All he touched was Núñez.
