FINAL: Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham. Mac Allister 21', Gakpo 54', Gallagher 69', Szoboszlai 90+1'.
Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham
Why this one matters: Tottenham had two league points and no league goals. Tuesday at Anfield was supposed to be a cup reset. It became 3-1 and another exit.
Sky: Alexis Mac Allister 21', first-time into the roof of the net. Cody Gakpo 54'. Conor Gallagher 69' from a corner, Tottenham's first goal against top-flight opposition this season. Dominik Szoboszlai 90+1' from distance. Giorgi Mamardashvili denied Lucas Bergvall early and Omar Marmoush late.
The Independent: Andoni Iraola made ten changes and still went through. Roberto De Zerbi called the result unfair. Spurs named a strong side and still have no win in 2026/27.
The stakes
Liverpool in the last 16. Tottenham out of one of three remaining competitions, still winless.
The rivalry angle
