That’s it for today’s live blog. I’ll leave you with David Hytner’s blog – goodnight!

Ange Postecoglou talks to Sky Sports

There was a lot going on, I’m trying to process it all. It’s fantastic to beat a top-class opponent, and getting a late winner always adds that little bit of spirit and belief. Even with the extra two men, Liverpool made it difficult for us. We didn’t handle it too well when they went down to ten – we started rushing things.

At the start of the second half we were better, but after the second red card we probably didn’t vary our attacks enough. The one at the end – it’s an own-goal I know, but it’s one of the few times we flashed a ball across the box.

I’m being really picky. We’re just in our infancy and this group of players have been outstanding. I’m rapt with getting the results because it allows me to keep pushing them, because they have belief now.

Credit to Liverpool, the mentality they have to hang in there even with nine men… they’ve got winners in their team and that’s something we need to learn to become as well.
