Sports pundit Gary Neville had predicted the outcome of Liverpool’s Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg encounter with Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur.
The Reds got into the second-leg of the encounter against the Lily Whites trailing after falling to a 1-0 defeat in the first-leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last month.
This was a crucial match for both sides, but it seemed there is more at stake for the North Londoners.
Tottenham are having a dreadful campaign domestically and currently sit 14th in the Premier League table, and the EFL Cup [Carabao] may be one of few hopes of salvaging their season.
Liverpool, in stark contrast, are having a great season, having suffered just 3 losses all season, with one of them coming in the first leg earlier in the year.
The club from Merseyside have their sights set on securing the Premier League title this season and are one of the favourites to go all the way and win the UEFA Champions League after finishing top of the league phase with 21 points [seven wins] from eight matches.
