By Soccer

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.
