DANNY MURPHY: A defeat that will give Reds enormous belief... despite losing, Liverpool showed they are in the Premier League title race

Even in defeat, Liverpool showed they are in this title race. To show the resilience to compete against Spurs with 10 and then nine men, and even create chances to win it, should give them enormous belief.

Yes, it must be gutting for the dressing room to lose to an unlucky own-goal right at the end – particularly as the PGMOL on Saturday night admitted they wrongly disallowed Luis Diaz’s goal in the first-half.

But once the dust has settled, it was a phenomenal effort. Sometimes you can take more from a loss than an easy win, and Liverpool have repeatedly shown this season they are fighters.
