Tottenham scored and Roberto De Zerbi eulogised the quality at his disposal, yet try Spurs’ suffering away support there was consolation to be found at Anfield. Liverpool toyed with De Zerbi by advancing into round four with a quality of finishing that he can only dream of.
While the Spurs head coach talked a good game and his players played a pretty one in harmless areas, Liverpool produced the only effective one. Alexis Mac Allister promoted his claims for a new contract for the second midweek in succession with a strike and Cody Gakpo continued his fine early season form with a smart second plus an assist.
“It was a worldie,” said Liverpool’s head coach, Andoni Iraola, whose changes injected energy and bite into the home display.
Spurs caused a few anxieties when Conor Gallagher headed home after Giorgi Mamardashvili’s failure to deal with a Mateus Fernandes corner. Defeat was deserved, despite De Zerbi’s claims to the contrary.
De Zerbi made eight changes from Saturday’s stalemate with Everton, Iraola made 10 from a similarly drab draw against Fulham. Lucas Bergvall and Mohammed Kudus both should have scored from left-wing crosses by Destiny Udogie.
Liverpool turned the tide thanks to contributions from the young quartet of Lewis Koumas, James McConnell, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha.
Mac Allister opened the scoring when Udogie’s attempt to halt Ngumoha’s weaving run across the area put the ball on a plate for the incoming midfielder.
Mac Allister’s opener arrived between Spurs’ two missed chances from Bergvall and Kudus.
