Tottenham Hotspur were unable to cause an upset against champions-elect Liverpool who now sit a staggering 31 points ahead of the North Londoners in the Premier League table.

Jose Mourinho was without the services of star man Harry Kane on an evening where Spurs did carve out chances but frustratingly were unable to make it count.

Heung-min Son and Giovani Lo Celso were both guilty of missing chances which they should have scored and Harry Kane would normally have dispatched.

The defeat means that Spurs are now nine points adrift of rivals Chelsea who occupy fourth place.

Spurs certainly showed a vast improvement compared to the recent performances against Norwich and Southampton which will be one shred of consolation.

Christian Eriksen was handed a start by Mourinho and the Spurs contract rebel was disappointing.  Some fans also felt that Liverpool got away with a red card when Andy Robertson’s studs made contact with Premier League debutant Japhet Tanganga’s boot.

Here’s a selection of reaction from the North London faithful.

We got robbed a throw in

Loved the performance, hated the result. If we played like that every match we wouldn’t be in the mess that we’ve found ourselves in.

Can we have the same performance from the second half EVERY game from heat on out, @ErikLamela @LoCelsoGiovani changes the game completely, must start! @JTanganga99 had a brilliant game too???????? proud of you lads #coys

2 Liverpool defenders should have red cards

Second half was amazing but we genuinely have so many problems to address and it’s heartbreaking that Levy and ENIC won’t do anything about it. We’re going to slip back into permanent mediocrity

Here is Andy Robertson's challenge on Tanganga . Will @BBCMOTD discuss this incident and ask the simple question how VAR didn't intervene here but intervened on the same challenge in another game today and gave Aubameyang a red card while no card for Robertson? #bbcmotd pic.twitter.com/UKL9JIfXGQ

Robertson challenges on Tanganga and Toby were disgusting, both could have been red cards.. ref and VAR decide nothing wrong

Fair result perhaps. However the Robertson Challenge on tanganga was shocking and not even looked at

Robertson should have been sent off, not for the Tanganga challenge, that was a yellow, but for stomping Toby off the ball.

Robertson didn’t even get a yellow for that tackle on Tanganga. Kl kl snm
