3-0 is a flatter scoreline but we fully deserved to win the game. We controlled the game but somehow Spurs are reluctant to lose. The turning point is no doubt Jenas' amazing miss, as after that Gonzalez scored from a Bellamy off-the-post shot. And then Kuyt showed his classy scoring a nice goal, and Riise signals his return by scoring yet another screamer - although it is not as far away as Alonso's goal.
After the two well deserved wins we are now climing up to a more respectable position, but now the key is that we need to start winning away from home.
Players Rating:
Reina: 7 Another clean sheet with no real threats from the Spurs.
Finnan: 7 Another nice display from our unsung hero.
Agger: 7 His good performance had lead Rafa to do the unthinkable - to rest Carra.
Hyypia: 7 Performed well after he was rested 3 games.
Riise: 7.5 Back with a screamer. Need this as Aurelio and Warnock are competing with him for the left back spot.
Gerrard: 7.5 A great dummy lead to the first goal.
Alonso: 7 No goal this time as he did not have chance to score in our own half.
Sissoko: 7.5 Rock solid.
Gonzalez: 7.5 Opened the floodgate by scoring a great goal with his alertness and quickness.
Bellamy: 6.5 Should have scored but fortunately Gonzalez scored on the rebound.
Kuyt: 8 Another great goal. His first touch and work rate were class.
Substitutions:
Luis Garcia: 7 Almost invisible but still managed to provide 2 assists in 22 minutes.
Aurelio/Carragher: 6 Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 7.5 He now has a settled pair of strikers, and it is also nice to see the defense defended another clean sheet.
Tottenham Hotspur: 6 They just can't take their chances now. If they don't improve they will rather heading to relegation rather than Europe.
Man of the Match: Kuyt. An instant Anfield hero.
