Hollow Spurs can't hurt no one, let alone reborn Reds

Being a Tottenham Hotspur fan this season must be sad, as the North London club started the campaign almost amazingly before succumbing to despair and chaos.

They are still in contention for Europa League qualification, but their recent form seems so dreadful that Ange Postecoglou is probably hoping the season ends as soon as possible.

The Sunday 4-2 away loss to Liverpool has been the Spurs' fourth Premier League defeat in a row, their worst streak since 2004. 

Although torn with injuries all season long, Postecoglou's boys seem like a non-league side that lacks discipline, tactics, schemes and a few other things. 

They stood no chance against inspired Reds, who found their way back to expected levels following a disappointing single win in the last five EPL games.

Straight from the kick-off at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp's team seemed sharp and eager to make amends for previous hick-ups. Salah hit the crossbar, and Trent Alexander-Arnold was close to scoring, too, but it stayed 0-0 for a few minutes more. However, Cody Gakpo's marvellous cross found Salah in the far post as he headed home past Vicario for a deserved opener.

From that moment until the last 20 minutes, just one team was on the pitch.

Experienced Andy Robertson morphed into a poacher in the dying minutes of the first half to double the lead, and it could have been even more if it wasn't for Vicario between the sticks.

Still, not even he could prevent Gakpo from wrapping up the tie shortly after the second-half restart, but it was Harvy Elliot's stunner that will surely go viral tonight for its unique charm and accuracy.

Spurs were in the ropes, but with the attacking line comprised of the likes of Son, Maddison and Richarlison, it's possible to peg one or two back even with such a dreadful performance. And that's precisely what the guests did through Richarlison and Son, whose finishing skills have never been a source of doubt. But with a defending that could be defined as shambolic, there's no chance to survive any Premier League challenge, let alone Anfield cauldron.
