It's not often that historical rivalries are put on ice but last night was one such occasion. Liverpool fans joined their Manchester United counterparts in shaking their head and sighing in disbelief, when Christian Eriksen gave Spurs the lead within eleven seconds.
Whether they then joined in with Red Devil supporters by holding their faces into a pillow and screaming repeatedly as Phil Jones doubled Tottenham's advantage with a poacher's finish into his own net, is unknown.
The 2-0 win over United at Wembley moved Spurs to within two points of Liverpool in the table, as both clubs chase Champions League qualification come the end of the season.
Had United won, the gap would have been five points, and things would have been looking slightly rosier for Jurgen Klopp's men, who play Tottenham at Anfield this Sunday.
Instead, they just had one more reason to have a go at their old rivals.
Some things will never change.
