This is weird.

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. https://twitter.com/ross_busher/status/958799606497849344 https://twitter.com/KingMoSalah/status/958799370517872640 https://twitter.com/shaunrobbitt91/status/958837884366225409 https://twitter.com/PauI16_/status/958799157245997057 https://twitter.com/Mxreno_/status/959001247830470657 https://twitter.com/Mxreno_/status/959002308171444224 https://twitter.com/__SamAlex/status/958794738689302531 https://twitter.com/Az0r_Ahai/status/958817650779590656 https://twitter.com/imJr19/status/958929106053120001 https://twitter.com/raahilc/status/958974123706904576 https://twitter.com/aSharma0001/status/958829466070978561 https://twitter.com/al_mackeroo/status/958814989959262208
