Alan Shearer knocks down Liverpool despite Tottenham win

Liverpool won a Premier League game for the first time this year with a big win over Spurs at Anfield.

The Reds swept their rivals away thanks to a quick-fire brace from Sadio Mane. 

The win means they are back in the top four, 11 points behind league leaders Chelsea.

And, with the Reds out of the FA Cup and Football League Cup, Shearer believes their season is already over.

“No matter what happens from here on in, it will just be one of those seasons when they have once more knocked on the door but not stepped over the threshold,” he wrote in The Sun.

“Their league campaign has faltered because they have not always taken the opposition seriously enough, too.

“They can get up for the big games but Saturday was their first win in six in the league. 

“Second-placed Spurs were seemingly no problem. They also drew with table-toppers Chelsea.

“But Hull, Sunderland and Swansea in that recent run were another matter.”
