Liverpool were on form going into this game, Tottenham Hotspur were having a bit of a hard time adjusting to all the new players they had brought in - but most people still ruled out a Liverpool win....how silly they must have felt when the full time whistle blew.
Now going into this game, yes we were in good form but we hadn't won at White Hart Lane for near enough 5 years which wasn't a good stat. But that didn't matter as Liverpool looked to continue their good season with another 3 points...it was sure to be a good game!
As soon as the game started, Liverpool looked a little shaky - don't forget Captain Fantastic : Steven Gerrard was out injured so Liverpool's midfield would have to be strong and players like Jordan Henderson and Lucas Leiva would need to step up.
But after 5-10 minutes Liverpool settled and began to take control of the game. Once they did that the goals just flowed!
Liverpool's captain Luis Suarez (it does feel great to say that!), got us started with a fantastic shot after great work from the hard-working Jordan Henderson.
Next Henderson's hard work paid off after him and Suarez worked some magic in the box which ended with the underrated midfielder bagging himself a well deserved goal.
Our third goal came from local lad and bright young prospect Jon Flanagan - who's wonder shot smacked the bar and then flew right in, much to the youngsters surprise and amazement. The 21-year-old then rightfully wheeled away and celebrated right in front of the travelling fans - such a brilliant moment for the defender.
As if three wasn't enough, Liverpool continued and their fourth was assisted by substitute Luis Alberto who obviously wanted to show what an instant impact he could make by setting up Suarez for his second of the day.
The fifth and final goal went to impressive academy graduate Raheem Sterling who has been on something of a revival of late, especially when working with Luis Suarez who just so happened to set this goal up for the youngster.
As the final whistle went, Liverpool fans could probably hardly believed their eyes - it's not that it was believed we couldn't do it, it was just that history suggested otherwise.
No doubt a lot of reds went to bed merry and happy after beating Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 on their home turf.
