Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Fernando Llorente got a bit of revenge on Liverpool last night.

The Napoli hitman, released by Spurs during the summer, played and scored in Naples as Carlo Ancelotti’s side beat Liverpool 2-0.

Llorente was part of the Tottenham squad that the Reds pipped to the Champions League title in June, though the big Spaniard barely played in the final.

The former Juventus and Swansea City attacker, who spent two years in North London, said before the game that he wanted to get revenge on Jurgen Klopp’s side.

And here’s how Tottenham fans reacted to Llorente fulfilling that ambition.

Llorente wound up being something of a cult hero at Tottenham.

He wasn’t the most prolific of marksmen, having scored twice in 36 Premier League appearances under Mauricio Pochettino, but he certainly scored some big goals in the Champions League – including in last season’s quarter-final win over Manchester City – and that is why some Lilywhites fans have retained an affection for him.
