#5 Liverpool's youngsters shone while Spurs' faltered
Trending
Liverpool gave debuts to two academy graduates in Trent Alexander-Arnold and Ovie Ejaria and both the youngsters put in a great shift to impress everyone. Arnold was lucky to receive just a yellow for his tackle on Ben Davies but the 18-year-old gradually improved his performance. Marko Grujic was also impressive as his attacking intent was on display as he looked to surge ahead on every possible opportunity.
The youngsters from Spurs though were probably awestruck by the stadium and the atmosphere as they took a lot of time to get settled to the proceedings. Other than Harry Winks, who looked assured in his midfield role alongside Eric Dier, no youngster looked like a real deal for Pochettino's side. Georges-Kevin N’Kodou was abysmal in the first half but slowly improved as he showed brilliant work rate in the last quarter of the game.
