The Godfather of Liverpool, Bill Shankly, and his famous Boot Room may have long gone, title winning bosses Bob Paisley and Joe Fagan too.

What they'd make of Jurgen Klopp's astonishing charge to glory this season is anyone's guess. But they'd know for sure Klopp is shaping the future exactly as they did in the club's glorious past.

Anfield saw Liverpool's quadruple bid badly dented by a Tottenham team belligerently refusing to be lambs to the slaughter. Son Hueng-min's second half goal was a dagger to Liverpool's hearts and must have had Pep Guardiola dancing around his TV.

But Luis Diaz breathed life into the stadium with an equaliser that produced a roar surely heard in Manchester. That triggered a monumental effort by Liverpool to somehow conjure a winner on a night when big guns like newly crowned Football Writers' Footballer of the Year Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane just couldn't find a killer touch.

It's not over of course, but for now Target Treble seems a more realistic end to an amazing season. If the big prize is gone, Klopp knows it'll take every bit of quality, class and focus for his Kop stars to pull off a three cup haul.

The biggest ingredient of all having got this far will be Lady Luck. Apart from a handy deflection off Rodrigo Bentancur for the equaliser from Diaz, luck deserted the German coach and his players last night.

Tottenham had a hand in that, of course, with a courageous display to surely bury their infamous 'Spursy' tag once and for
