- 10:13 PMYahoo Sports — Analysis: Spurs punished for their wastefulness in the final third
"For the 20 minutes between Conor Gallagher pulling one back for Tottenham and Dominik Szoboszlai wrapping things up for Liverpool, the travelling Spurs support and Roberto de Zerbi grew in belief but ultimately they were wasteful in the final third and that is what cost them. Lucas Bergvall, Mohammed Kudus, Omar Marmoush and Savio all had great chances but failed to convert and they only had to look at the other end, with all three of Liverpool's goals coming from quality strikes.
