BBC pundit Dion Dublin has claimed that one Liverpool player was the ‘difference’ for Jurgen Klopp’s side against Tottenham today.

Cody Gakpo’s headed effort was followed by a stunner from Harvey Elliott and Liverpool were cruising at 4-0 up on the hour mark.

But it proved to be a slightly nervy ending for Liverpool after both managers made changes following Elliott’s effort.

The changes certainly helped Spurs get back into the game but it was arguably Klopp’s changes which led to a difficult 30 minutes.

“And that has been the difference for me, letting those five or six forward players do what they have got to do and still be in a good shape when they lose the ball.”

Endo has proven to be an inspired signing for Liverpool after being snapped up for just £16.2 million last summer.

It led to a couple of consolation goals from Richarlison and Heung-min Son but fortunately for Liverpool, it proved to be too little too late for Postecoglou’s side.

Endo was widely viewed as a stop-gap signing after the club missed out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
