A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to bemoan Jose Mourinho’s decision not to play Tanguy Ndombele in last night’s Premier League defeat.

Spurs headed to Liverpool hoping to extend their lead at the top of the table but were beaten by the reigning champions, who leapfrogged them to the summit.

Mourinho opted to start Giovani Lo Celso in attacking midfield, with Ndombele having to make do with a spot on the bench.

The hosts took the lead in the 26th minute through Mohamed Salah, whose first-time strike took a deflection off Toby Alderweireld and looped into the top corner of the Spurs goal.

However, Spurs were level seven minutes later against the run of play, as a counter-attack saw Lo Celso release Son Heung-min, who duly slotted past Alisson Becker.

The visitors were much improved after the break but Liverpool held on before striking in the 90th minute, Andrew Robertson’s cross headed home by Roberto Firmino.

Although Lo Celso put in a good display for Spurs, some fans felt Ndombele – who remained unused – would’ve been key in holding onto the ball better and progressing further up the pitch.
