#4 Lop-sided Liverpool

This was probably a result of Tottenham's tactics or personnel, but Liverpool's most productive forays forward came from the left-hand side. With Son doing a better job of tracking Trent Alexander-Arnold than Christian Eriksen did of managing Andy Robertson, the Reds naturally started to play more down their left flank.

Some of the chances they created, even if they weren't the most clear-cut ones, were with Robertson going down the byline and Alexander-Arnold coming more infield.

As the game progressed and the game got more stretched, Alexander-Arnold got more space down the right. But for most of the game Liverpool were forced to play out to Robertson, who often found himself in huge amounts of space on the far side.

The likes of Sheffield United and Manchester United have found ways of keeping both of Liverpool's full-backs relatively quiet. And Spurs attempted something similar without really doing so effectively.
