Conor Gallagher belatedly scored Tottenham’s first goal of the season to set up a frantic ending, but Dominik Szoboszlai’s late rocket sent Liverpool through to the fourth round. But he looked weak from the corner that led to Tottenham’s goal.

Jeremie Frimpong, 5: Both of Tottenham’s big first-half chances came down his side while, in an attacking sense, his final ball from the right was poor once again. Joe Gomez, 6: Perhaps some rust would have been expected as the injury-prone defender made his first start of the season, but he slotted in well enough in a 45-minute showing and had a role in Mac Allister’s goal.

Conor Gallagher, 4: Scored Tottenham’s first goal of the season, at long last, but he was wasteful on the ball at times and guilty of some loose touches in midfield.
