Liverpool kept the pressure from the first whistle on Spurs' youngsters as the intention were clear from Klopp's boys. Pochettino fielded a second-string side who may not be used to the incessant pressing methods used by their first team players which made matters easy for the Reds.

Liverpool covered more distance and had more sprints than their counterparts as Spurs were lucky not to concede much more thanks to a brilliant display by Spurs' no.2 Michel Vorm.
