The midfield diamond consisting of Dembele, Dier, Dele Alli and Eriksen were slick with their passing and often picked out Kieran Tripper's and Son's runs down the flanks. But even though they were effective in attack, they were getting outclassed in midfield as Liverpool kept finding ways to run riot.

The Liverpool defenders had a good game for the greater part with Dejan Lovren and Virgil Van Dijk putting in shifts early on to ensure Harry Kane remained an isolated figure up front.

But in the second half, Spurs made some changes. Eriksen drifted to the left flank as Alli took up the no. 10 spot and they looked a much better side immediately.

Wanyama's introduction bore fruit as he sent in an absolute rocketship to the top corner. It was straight out of Shaolin Soccer, believe you me.

That's perhaps one of the best things about this Tottenham side. They are a side filled with a bunch of hardworking, technically profound players whose versatility helps them to tweak their tactics to adapt and cater to the demands of the game and overcome their adversaries.
