Tottenham v Liverpool - Premier League

Tottenham Hotspur's form at Wembley is improving with every game and their thumping victory over Liverpool on Sunday advocates for the same. The team under Mauricio Pochettino looked at a completely different level throughout the 90 minutes and played some smashing football to cripple Liverpool's vulnerable defense.

Their attack was so powerful that Jurgen Klopp was forced to substitute Dejan Lovren just half an hour after the starting whistle, owing to the shambolic display of defense from the Croatian, who ended up giving away two goals to the Spurs.

However, that tactic could not inspire a comeback for the men in red, as the hosts added two more goals in their tally even after his exit. A consolidatory goal for Liverpool came in the form of Mohamed Salah's scruffy strike in the first half of the game. However, the solitary goal could only be a consolation for the visitors as the Spurs ran away with the 4-1 victory.
