Amy Lawrence’s match report from Wembley:
Full time: Tottenham 4-1 Liverpool
Peep peep! Spurs beat Liverpool for the first time since 2012 with a rousing performance full of of ruthless counter-attacking. Liverpool suffered death by deja vu, defending desperately for all four goals, with Dejan Lovren having a particular shocker. Thanks for your company, goodnight!
90 min Harry Winks has had another fine game in midfield, both with and without the ball. He looks a player.
89 min Kane might be a doubt for Spurs’ trip to Old Trafford in six days’ time.
88 min Harry Kane is going off. He has his hand on his left hamstring, though he is not limping. Fernando Llorente replaces him. Kane was, and is, utterly magnificent.
83 min Can, who has had a stinker, is replaced by Marko Grukic.
81 min Alli nutmegs Can with an outrageous piece of Playstation skill, moving the ball one way before dragging it in the opposite direction through Can’s legs. You’ll be seeing that one a few times. Moments later, the ever excellent Eriksen is replaced by Eric Dier.
78 min Oxlade-Chamberlain robs Aurier in a dangerous position and cuts the ball back to Salah, whose shot is saved by the feet of Lloris. Oxlade-Chamberlain has made some eye-catching contributions since coming on as sub.
77 min Liverpool bring on Daniel Sturridge to replace Roberto Firmino. An eventful game is starting to peter out.
74 min This result leaves Liverpool 12 points behind Manchester City. Even after nine games, their title challenge looks over.
73 min Coutinho tries one of his trademark long-range curlers from the inside-left channel, and Lloris leaps to make a comfortable save.
72 min Salah produces an ingenious flick behind his standing leg to find Milner, whose low shot from a tight angle is kicked away by Lloris.
71 min “There’s no shame in losing to Tottenham,” says Niall Mullen. “Yet somehow Liverpool have all of the shame that has ever existed.”
70 min The aggregate score from today’s matches is North London 9-3 Merseyside.
69 min Spurs make a change, with Moussa Sissoko replacing the superb Heung-Min Son.
67 min Lloris makes a spectacular save, springing to his right to palm Coutinho’s rising drive onto the bar. It was a brilliant effort from Coutinho, raked with his left foot from the edge of the box. Lloris went with his wrong hand, the left, and pushed it up onto the underside of the bar.
66 min Spurs’ work rate is phenomenal, even at 4-1. They are such an admirable team in almost everything they do.
65 min Kane surges thrillingly into the box, using Eriksen’s off-the-ball run by not using him, before hitting a low shot that is crucially blocked by Gomez. I think that was going in.
63 min Son has had a fine game today, shredding Liverpool with his pace on the counter-attack.
62 min Trippier’s corner is headed up in the air at the near post and comes to Sanchez, who mis-hits a volley from 15 yards. That was a presentable chance.
61 min This feels like a significant day for Spurs, when Wembley started to feel like home.
59 min Although Spurs have been ruthless with their finishing, all four goals have come from defensive howlers.
GOAL! Tottenham 4-1 Liverpool (Kane 56)
Kane storms down the right and is fouled by Matip. He is such a handful - and now he has his second goal! Mignolet came for Winks’s free-kick and mistimed a desperate punch straight to Vertonghen. Firmino did brilliantly to clear his shot off the line but Kane was there to sweep up from six yards. He is simply magnificent.
53 min Oxlade-Chamberlain makes Trippier look silly with a lovely piece of skill on the left. He stands up a deep cross that just evades the leaping Salah at the far post.
51 min Eriksen’s left-wing corner is headed wide by Kane, under pressure from Matip.
47 min Some early pressure from Liverpool, sparked by a brilliant cross from Oxlade-Chamberlain on the left. The problem for Liverpool is that every attack comes with a big risk of Spurs scoring on the break.
46 min Peep peep! Spurs begin the second half. This game is so open that it could end with any scoreline from 7-1 to 3-5.
Half-time chit-chat
Bill Hargreaves “With Mou, Klopp, Pep, Poch, Conte and Arsène, the premiership has become so theatrical. Never quite sure whether it is a Shakespearian tragedy or a European farce, who is Malvolio or Puck, Falstaff or Shylock, but it rarely fails to entertain.”
Paul Griffin “Watching the defensive Maginot line on display today, the away team’s fans will be pining for the defensive solidity of past players like Torben Piechnik, Bjorn Tore Kvarme, and, the post-millennial Beckenbauer, Djimi Traore. But it’s not clear that that resilience can be delivered by Lovren et al.”
Half time: Tottenham 3-1 Liverpool
That was great entertainment, though Liverpool’s defending put the dire in diabolical. In fairness to Matip, I can see why he decided to head that Eriksen free-kick, as he couldn’t be certain of the position of Kane behind him. But it was a poor header, straight onto the right foot of Dele Alli.
See you in 10 minutes for a few more goals.
Eriksen’s long free-kick was going to drift out of play, but Matip decided he needed to put his head on it. He could only divert it towards the edge of the area, where Alli arrived to bobble an accurate volley into the corner.
GOAL! Tottenham 3-1 Liverpool (Alli 45+3)
Another mistake from Liverpool!
45+2 min Can is booked for a cynical foul on Dele Alli.
45+1 min Kane, spotting Mignolet off his line, has a shot from inside his own half that is blocked by a Liverpool player. It’s a reflection of his stratospheric confidence that he even tried it.
45 min It’s been a breathless half, great fun to watch. There will be two added minutes.
42 min The match is lurching from end to end. Trippier’s cross flashes across goal; moments later he heads Moreno’s cross behind for a corner at the other end. It’s half cleeared to Henderson, whose sweet long-range volley is headed away by Vertonghen near the penalty spot. I think Lloris would have saived it anyway.
40 min Coutinho’s corner, the first of the match for either side, is headed wide by Gomez. The referee gives another corner to Liverpool. Nothing happens. Jurgen Klopp is almost foaming at the mouth on the touchline.
38 min There was a dizzying piece of skill from Kane before he shot wide a minute ago. He pushed the ball away from one defender, dragged it back to evade a second and then instantly pushed it forward again to beat the third.
