Tottenham Hotspur 2 Liverpool 1 - Match Reaction

How do you sum that up? The Reds have had their unbeaten record stolen after some questionable decisions by the officials plus one that may well be the biggest 'mistake' ever seen on a top flight football pitch in this country.

Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Julian Richards to dissect an unbelievable game in North London in which the Reds lost yet still managed to lay down a serious marker in the title race. A fantastic performance full of heart, resilience and class may have ended in heartbreak, but this team is the real deal.

The lads look back on the game before previewing West Ham at the weekend, while JB reveals how he once nutmegged a former Manchester United player and that by rights he should have a Ballon d'Or on his sideboard.
