Vorm was under pressure from fellow countryman Van Dijk but did not appear to be fouled. Pochettino switched his system at half-time to three at the back, with Dier moving into defence from midfield. But they continued to be sloppy at times and Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson was given too much time and space to get in a cross which bounced off the bar. Then, almost immediately, Liverpool’s next attack saw Mane denied by Vorm.

Spurs almost equalised in the 51st minute when the busy Lucas Moura cut in from the left and hit the outside of the post.

But Liverpool increased their lead three minutes later following a Mane cross. Jan Vertonghen, in attempting to clear, hit his own post and when Vorm failed to gather the ball Firmino scored from almost on the line.

It should have been 3-0 in the 63rd minute but a Liverpool break saw Naby Keita’s shot turned over by Vorm. The Spurs keeper also denied Salah, before Lamela’s late consolation for Tottenham.
