Graham Roberts has criticised Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro on Twitter for the first goal that his side conceded against Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The former Tottenham player was far from impressed with Porro for his lack of defending for the first goal that Liverpool scored in the game.

Liverpool have got the better of Tottenham 4-3 at home in the league this afternoon.

The Reds were 3-0 up after 15 minutes.

Tottenham came back strongly and made it 3-3 in the third minute of injury time, only for Portuguese forward Diogo Jota to score for Liverpool just moments later and wrap up the three points for the home team.

Curtis Jones put Liverpool in the lead after just three minutes.

Roberts was following the match, and he was not impressed at all by the role that £85,000-a-week (Record) Porro played in the first goal for the Reds.

The 23-year-old started the match for Tottenham as a right wing-back.

The Spain international, who joined Spurs on loan from Sporting Lisbon in the January transfer window, really lacked positional awareness for the first Liverpool goal.

The youngster, though, did improve in the second half and stepped up his game.
