It was the carling cup clash between Liverpool verses Tottenham Hotspur. And it was a night to forget for the Liverpool manager Rafael Benitz, who had made ten changes to the team, and the only regular player in the team was Fernando Torreswho had come back from a time of injury ,a hamstring injury and Benitz was keen to give Torres as much practice as possible before their clash with Bolton Wanderers. And it turned out to be a disaster for Liverpool.
While Tottenham Hotspur fairytale turnaround continues with each match under Harry Redknapp , and Whitehart Lane have found their long lost voices all over again.
There were four goals in favour of Tottenham Hotspur and two in favour of Liverpool.The first goal was scored by Pavlyuchenko in the 38th minute firing past the second choice Brazilian goalkeeperDiego Cavalieri.The second goal came frpm Frazier Cambell a player from Manchester United who was given to Tottenham Hotspur in part of the sale deed for Dimitrov Berbatov. Fraizer Cambell scored the third and his second with a header after Aron Lennon kicked it to Canmbell. Pavlyuchenkoscored the fourth goal. But Liverpool did make a game of it in the second half with a goal each from Damien Plessis and the old boy of LiverpoolSami Hyypia with both these goals being headed in.
So Liverpool join Chelsea in being knocked out of the carling cup.
