Ange Postecoglou’s speechless touchline moment against Liverpool summed him up
Both of these teams had created and scored plenty in their first six league games, and that showed in the early goings. Spurs keeper Vicario kept his team level with an important double-save, while Postecoglou’s team threatened with the speed of their breaks.
The 10 men of Liverpool briefly thought they had the lead, only for Luis Diaz to have strayed narrowly offside before beating Guglielmo Vicario. Moments later they ere behind, though, with intricate build-up from the home side ending up with Richarlison providing Son Heung-min with a tap-in to open the scoring, but Cody Gakpo levelled on the stroke of half-time only to injure himself while doing so.
