Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson scored as Jurgen Klopp’s side picked up the three points yesterday.
Liverpool went into the break behind against Spurs, but they turned the match around in the second-half.
Henderson scored Liverpool’s first goal in the contest, as he broke into the box and finished well on the half-volley.
And Crouch felt that the England international played a huge role in allowing Liverpool to pick up the three points.
“Henderson was just amazing, really. I think a lot of his work goes un-noticed but in the past couple of league games, he has shown how important he is to the team,” he said.
“There were times when Liverpool were defending he was still one of their three men in midfield but he was also getting out wide and nullifying Rose’s threat down that side.
“Henderson made an impression going forward too. When his side were attacking, he was bursting forward down the flank, pushing Rose back and giving him something else to think about.
“He was over-lapping Alexander-Arnold at times, getting crosses in to create chances – and he got his goal on the back post, which is where a right-winger would be.”
There were some calls from supporters for Henderson to be replaced at half-time by Klopp, as there was a feeling that Liverpool needed their more creative midfield options on the pitch.
However, Henderson proved his manager right to leave him on the pitch with his second-half showing.
Liverpool fully deserved their three points against Spurs in the end, as they were on the front foot for large parts of the match and didn’t panic after falling behind early on.
The victory has maintained Liverpool’s six point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
