Don Hutchison says starting Harry Kane ahead of Lucas Moura was a massive error from Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a heartbreaking 2-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool in the final of the Champions League on Saturday night.

The North London giants were a goal behind less than a minute into the game after Mohamed Salah converted from the penalty spot.

Moussa Sissoko handled the ball in his own box after just 22 seconds of action, and while Spurs tried to battle back, they were toothless in attack and eventually succumbed to another goal – an 87th-minute strike from Divock Origi.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to start Harry Kane ahead of semifinals hero Lucas Moura backfired as the English striker failed to make any impact.
