Going to Anfield is never an easy task, with history showing we don’t often get a positive result. With our wonderful 2-1 FA Cup Quarter Final win there from 1995 still in close memory, hopes were high we could repeat the feat on this November evening for the League Cup 4th Round tie.
Spurs’ fans enjoyed the game, as they watched their team under George Graham continue their Cup progress with a comfortable and well deserved victory. Steffan Iversen’s goal after just two minutes gave us the dream start, ex-Red John Scales doubled the lead on twenty minutes, with a Allan Nielsen effort in the second half giving us a 3-0 lead. In true Spurs style, we spurned a number of other good goal scoring chances and Liverpool’s goal was a late consolation following a mistake from goalkeeper, Espen Baardsen.
A fine 3-1 victory, seeing us through to the quarter finals – when victory over Man Utd, Wimbledon (Semis) and Leicester City (final) gave us our 3rd League Cup success.
