Liverpool eased their way to a 1-0 win over the Tottenham Hotspurs. Who stood out for the Reds, and who didn’t so much?
With a 1-0 win over Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham, Liverpool now sits 16 points ahead of second-place Leicester City at the top of the Premier League table. And the Reds have a game in hand to boot.
It wasn’t always comfortable for Liverpool. While Jurgen Klopp’s men were dominant in the first half, the second half was a different story. Tottenham pressed a progressively tired-looking Liverpool squad.
Shots were 8-6 for Liverpool through the first half, through the second 45 it was 5-4 in favor of the Spurs. If not for some good defensive play and a little bit of luck, a typical 1-1 Mourinho draw might have been the outcome.
Looking back, how well did Liverpool’s staring roster play by giving them a grade from 1 to 10.
