Here's how we rated the Tottenham players in the 5-1 Premier League defeat against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham suffered their 19th league defeat of a difficult season as Liverpool triumphed 5-1, securing the Premier League title. Manager Ange Postecoglou made eight changes to the starting lineup, considering the upcoming European match against Bodo/Glimt. Despite Spurs scoring first through Dominic Solanke's header from James Maddison's corner, Liverpool quickly responded and dominated the match.
The Tottenham goalkeeper had little chance to prevent Liverpool's early goals. He made some key saves in the second half but was shaky with ball possession, contributing to the pressure from Liverpool. His overall performance earned a rating of 4.
Players like Djed Spence, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, and Destiny Udogie had tough outings against Liverpool's relentless attack. Udogie particularly struggled, marking a poor performance marred by being beat by Salah and an own goal. Ratings ranged mostly from 3 to 5, reflecting defensive challenges faced during the match.
Archie Gray was given a rare midfield opportunity but found difficulty against Liverpool's trio and was substituted at halftime. James Maddison, returning as captain, started strong and assisted the opening goal but was also replaced at half-time. Other attackers like Brennen Johnson and Mathys Tel delivered less impactful performances, while Dominic Solanke impressed with his goal and effort, achieving a rating of 7.
The substitute players introduced at halftime had mixed contributions. Pape Matar Sarr showed promise with a decent defensive effort, while Dejan Kulusevski was caught out leading to a Liverpool goal. Wilson Odobert and Richarlison offered little impact in the offensive front.
