Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has hailed his side’s performance against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as ‘the complete performance’.
The Reds slaughtered Spurs 5-0 at White Hart Lane thanks to goals from Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, Jon Flanagan and a brace from Luis Suarez, and after the game, Rodgers couldn’t hide his delight at the result and the performance.
“It was a brilliant all-round performance,” said Rodgers.
“We got five goals and arguably we could have had seven or eight. That’s the beauty of this team, we have got goals in it.”
“The players worked tirelessly.
“How we pressed the game was very good and tactically we were excellent. The level of our football was superb.”
Rodgers then revealed what he mentioned to the players before the game got underway.
“We spoke before the game about the fact we are missing outstanding players,” said Rodgers.
“Winning teams support each other and work for each other. We’ve shown that it’s the team that is the most important thing for us.
“If we can stay clear of injuries and just continue to improve our football and what we are trying to do, then let’s see where it takes us.”
The three-points meant that Liverpool climbed up to second in the table and are now just two points behind leaders Arsenal.
