By Luke Power. Few of those who were there will be forgetting this one in a hurry. Liverpool were reduced to nine men after Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota were sent off - and then Joel matip turned the ball into his own net in the 96th minute to hand Spurs the win.
There's no chance of that happening today with Matip now retired, but Spurs will take confidence that they took all three points. At Anfield, it finished 4-2 to Liverpool. . Required reading, this. James Sharpe dives into the stats to analyse how Liverpool compare to their title-winning iteration in 2019-20, that Covid-ravaged season.
It's easy to forget that Liverpool won 26 of their first 27 games that season, drawing the other. Their first defeat was 3-0 at the hands of... Watford. Somehow they don't hold a league record points total, but still, it was a phenomenal team. A rare admission emerged from the mouth of Arne Slot in midweek as he said that he would like to see Ange Postecoglou win a trophy - just not in any competition that Liverpool are in, though.
Postecoglou has faced pressure recently, wirth his gung-ho attacking style drawing criticism. 'Just be happy that we have managers like him that want to play this brand of football and that is why even I hope he wins something,' said Slot. All niceties but that won't buy Postecoglou any favours from his opposite number today.
