Paulo Gazzaniga started at Anfield because of Lloris' injury and he was a key man for the visitors in the first half so that they led at half-time. He made four great saves in three minutes to deny Liverpool.

If anyone was worried about Spurs not having a top keeper in goal at Anfield, the Argentinian keeper needed just half an hour to make clear that there was nothing to worry about. If Kane was the standout with his goal after 47 seconds, his teammate was during the first half

In the 27th minute, he made a double save. Salah connected with a great volley from the edge of the area and the keeper dived to his left to keep Spurs in front. Firmino, who was there to pounce, hit the rebound from close range, but the Argentine reacted to knock it for a corner.

The last save came in the 30th minute, thanks to a powerful shot from Trent Alexander-Arnold from the edge of the area. Gazzaniga had other ideas though and he made a tremendous save.
