Marmoush curls the corner in from the left. Mamardashvili flaps under it, missing the ball altogether, and Gallagher can’t miss with a header from a couple of yards!

GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur (Gakpo 54)

Ngumoha cuts in from the right and rolls across to Kerkez, who cushions the ball back to Mac Allister. No shot this time. Mac Allister finds Gakpo inside the box on the left. Gakpo takes a touch inside and lashes a shot across Dubravka and into the right-hand side of the net. No stopping that!

Liverpool get the second half started. They’ve made one change, Jacquet coming on for Gomez. A reminder that if the game ends level after 90 minutes, there will be no extra time. It’ll be straight to penalties.

Half-time postbag. “At least you can’t accuse Roberto De Zerbi of parking the bus. No. It’s no use throwing players under a parked bus” – Justin Kavanagh

“What a week for Liverpool! Ian ‘Mac the Mouth’ McCulloch and Echo & The Bunnymen are releasing a new album, and Alexis ‘Mac the Foot’ Mac Allister is scoring goals for fun at Anfield” – Peter Oh

“Re: Andy (not that one) Flintoff, I recently saw correspondence from Andy Flintoff to the paper and thought, I bet it’s not that one. Is tonight’s Andy Flintoff not that one, or not that one or that one?” – Craig Fawcett

The doctor will see you now. “Thanks for your comment about colourblind supporters on 20 minutes,” begins Euan Lawson. “The Premier League have largely sorted appalling kit clashes out, and so I wonder if it’s a Carabao Cup thing. Yes, I can confirm, as a colourblind person, that the game is almost unwatchable. Or more unwatchable than normal with any game featuring Spurs. Red-green colourblindness affects one in 12 blokes - pretty much one in every men’s football team. It’s a nonsense that Spurs aren’t in white here.

“Also a message for Adam Kent Ibáñez - it might be worth double-checking that he’s not colourblind. A lot of men get through life without realising and it can have health consequences: spotting blood in various bodily emissions can be missed and we all know those kind of things needs checking. Awareness can help. (I’m a GP.)”

HALF TIME: Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur

Mac Allister blazes the free kick over the bar, and that’s the end of an open and entertaining first half. The Argentinian scored a fine goal, both keepers have made one crucial stop, and Kudus has missed a sitter. It’s been fun.
