Tottenham Out of League Cup After Anfield Defeat

Liverpool beat Tottenham 3-1 at Anfield in the League Cup, deepening Spurs' winless start and piling pressure on coach Roberto De Zerbi.

Tottenham are still without a league goal this season, and now they have gone out of the League Cup as well, beaten 3-1 at Anfield by Liverpool.

It leaves Spurs with two points from four Premier League matches and no goals scored in the competition. Lucas Bergvall tried to make something happen in driving rain at Anfield, but he could not stop his side taking another cold shower on a night when little went right.

The result adds to the pressure on head coach Ange Postecoglou, whose high-risk pressing system has left the defense exposed to Liverpool’s pace.

For Tottenham, the questions now run deeper than one competition. The squad’s shape has been disjointed, with midfielders struggling to transition quickly enough to support the attack against a high line.
