Premier League 2019-20: 5 talking points from Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur

#2 Liverpool's fullbacks were a chance creation machine

Alexander-Arnold was stifled for parts of the game but Spurs struggled to keep him quiet

Some of the best chances in the game fell to Tottenham. However, in terms of sheer number of chances, Liverpool led by a mile. They were taking shots from a distance, getting in crosses from deep, running down the byline and on a couple of occasions even attempting to slip through the odd runner down the middle.

The fact that a large chunk of this came through their full-backs is nothing new. But the fact that they managed to do so even with Spurs paying close attention to them is a testament to how hard this Liverpool team works to get them into areas where they can do damage.

Roberto Firmino's role coming in deep and pulling players towards him not only creates space for the wide runners, but also drags midfielders into narrower positions than they would need to be in to tackle the full-backs.

That makes for a dangerous loop in Liverpool's attack.
