One positive for Liverpool against Tottenham was the performance of 17-year-old winger Rio Ngumoha on his first Premier League start.
He became the first player to attempt seven or more dribbles in a Premier League game and complete them all since Matheus Cunha for Wolves against Aston Villa in May 2023.
Ngumoha had previously made 11 substitute appearances in the league, and featured in each cup competition this season.
"I think I have said two months ago, he progressed so well as a 16-year-old and now 17 he is progressing well," said boss Arne Slot.
"A performance like today will only help him to get more minutes for this club.
"I have 12 or 13 players that are able to bring good performances. Rio is doing that well it makes sense to play him."
