Tottenham Hotspur’s woes deepened at Anfield as they succumbed to a 4-2 defeat against Liverpool in their recent Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.

This defeat marked the fourth consecutive loss for Spurs in the league, a significant setback that has severely hampered their hopes of securing a top-four finish and a coveted Champions League spot for the next season.

Following their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea earlier in the week, Tottenham was expected to bounce back strongly against their Merseyside rivals. However, their struggles persisted as they found themselves trailing by four goals within the first half-hour of the match.

Despite a valiant effort towards the end with goals from Richarlison and Son Heung-min, Spurs fell short of completing a miraculous comeback.

Their hopes were further dashed when a potential penalty was denied in the 88th minute, after a contentious incident involving Joe Gomez and Brennan Johnson in the penalty area.

The replay footage indicated a high boot from Gomez in close proximity to Johnson’s head while attempting to clear the ball, leaving Tottenham feeling hard done by as they missed out on a crucial opportunity to potentially narrow the deficit and salvage a late draw.
