The Reds squandered a 2-0 lead as they drew 2-2 with Tottenham in the top-flight on Thursday night. Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford were both on target for the away side, but Pedro Porro and Heung-min Son scored for Spurs in the second half to level proceedings.
With Newcastle having thrashed Everton 4-1 on Thursday night, Ten Hag's side dropped below the Magpies in the table.
