Harry Kane has stated that Tottenham need to understand the moments better after they were put to the sword in the opening minutes of a game for the second week in a row. Having shipped five goals in 21 minutes at Newcastle United last Sunday, one week on Spurs found themselves 3-0 down after 15 minutes against Liverpool.
Looking down and out and likely to concede more with Liverpool opening them up with ease, Spurs managed to find a way back into the contest and restored parity deep into stoppage time after Richarlison had added to goals from Kane and Son Heung-min. There was to be a late twist in the tale, however, with Diogo Jota capitalising on an error from Lucas Moura to win the game one minute later.
A real sickener for the Tottenham team after mounting such a good fightback, Kane has admitted the manner of the defeat so deep into stoppage time was "hard to take". Opening up on the message from Ryan Mason at half-time, Kane also outlined the importance of keeping the best teams quiet in the opening stages and managing the game better to ensure they remain in the contest.
