Dele Alli also threatened moments later as Spurs continued a spirited second-half comeback that threatened to turn the game, and the title race, on its head after Liverpool had dominated the first. Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to play with three centre-backs seemed solid enough, based on the 2-1 beating they took in the home fixture at Wembley in September. A fast crossfield pass played in Kieran Trippier who sprinted down the wing, crossed into the area for Eriksen who moved the ball on,selflessly, to Lucas Moura. The Brazilian benefited from an intelligent run from Heung-Min Son, who took Joel Matip out of the game, and swept the ball in from six yards. With a little over 20 minutes to go, the season was potentially on the line - for Tottenham also - and the game did not disappoint.
