Tottenham Hotspur walked out of Anfield with the door of their Champions League hopes closing slowly, as Ange Postecoglou’s side tripped and fell flat on their faces at Anfield. The 4-2 scoreline does little justice to Liverpool as Spurs were abysmal on the afternoon. It was flattery, doing Spurs a kindness their overall performance did not merit. It must also not deceive anyone in the Spurs camp as the dramatic decline, in a season that held so much optimism at a point in the season, continues its sharp downward curve at a crucial point.
