Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-1 in a dramatic Premier League game at Anfield at the weekend.

A late own goal from Toby Alderweireld gave Liverpool the win.

Despite this, ex-Liverpool star Mark Lawrenson believes Tottenham should be positive.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Lawrenson said: “I was at Anfield on Sunday and thought Tottenham played really well in the second half, and dominated after making some positive changes.

“They looked the better side. At the very least, Spurs should have had a point.”

Lawrenson went on to criticise Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for a ‘terrible howler’ which led to Liverpool’s winner.

He added he is predicting Spurs will beat Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, the first game at their new stadium.

Spurs have slipped down to fourth in the Premier League table, overtaken by rivals Arsenal.

That could be a shock to the system, and along with the occasion of opening their new ground, could spark their return to form.
