Tottenham experienced their second consecutive loss after being easily defeated by Liverpool on the field Anfield. Coach Ange Postecoglou's team was completely defeated by a Liverpool team that showed a desire to win to keep their hopes of winning the Premier League alive, while the "Rooster" had a first half that was considered a bad performance. this season.

After Andy Robertson doubled Liverpool's lead in the final minutes of the first half, friction occurred between defender Cristian Romero and Emerson Royal on Tottenham's side. These two players immediately quarreled after letting Robertson comfortably score in the penalty area, and only with the intervention of goalkeeper Vicario did things gradually cool down.

After the match, when asked about the above situation, coach Postecoglou affirmed: "Look, the players care. They are disappointed and unhappy. They are satisfied with the current situation and want to resolve it. That just shows they care so I don't need to discuss that anymore.

Requests The players care about the game. They really care. It's bad to think they're going to be happy going into the tunnel together. They care and when they care, it's a good thing."

In addition, when asked about the team's performance, the Australian strategist added: "Our last two away matches at Newcastle and Chelsea were not good , not only in terms of performance but also in terms of results.  At least today I see cWe played more like ourselves, and we at least tried to be the team we wanted to be."

This is not For the first time, Tottenham players had a conflict on the field. Four years ago, Son Heung Min and captain Hugo Lloris at that time had a loud argument in the first half of the "Rooster's 1-0 win". " against Everton. However, then-coach Jose Mourinho denied this incident and even declared that he enjoyed their heated argument.

As a guest at Anfield, Tottenham had to endure Liverpool's suffocating pressure for most of the time. After continuous stops, "The Kops" scored 4 goals divided equally in the two halves. Meanwhile, the team from London only had 2 equalizers, thereby suffering a final defeat with a score of 2-4.

With the empty-handed defeat of Liverpool, Tottenham is increasingly far away from a ticket to the Champions League next season after being 7 points behind Aston Villa in fourth place. points, the only consolation for Ange Postecoglou's team is that they played one match less than their opponents. Therefore, "Rooster" will need to optimize scores in the final matches to hope to achieve the set goal.
