Gakpo, with his fellow countryman Arjen Robben watching on at Anfield, produced the kind of performance that needs to become more regular heading into next season, by which time there will be a Dutch head coach in charge.

Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold were superb on the day as well, while Jarell Quansah was his usual assured self.

Finishing strong is important for two things: the narrative throughout the summer, and the momentum ahead of the start of 2024/25.

The Bad: Well, it might have been handy had Liverpool come up with a performance like this a few weeks ago.

So too is the fact that Manchester City and Arsenal are now too far gone and Liverpool will finish third this season.

It is progress, and it wasn't a million miles away from being even more than that.

Elsewhere, the substitutes that Liverpool made didn't do a great deal.

This was a routine enough victory for Liverpool, despite it being Tottenham that the three points would have mattered more to.
