Teddy Sheringham and Gary Neville both believe that Diogo Jota’s winning goal for Liverpool on Sunday summed up the current mess at Tottenham.

Jota netted the winner in the 94th minute at Anfield – just seconds after Richarlison appeared to have earned Ryan Mason’s side a point from 3-0 down. The Liverpool striker seized on a weak back-pass from Lucas Moura to find the bottom corner and send Tottenham home disappointed.

Spurs found themselves 3-0 down inside 15 minutes after goals from Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. It sparked fears of another miserable away day following the 6-1 thrashing at Newcastle the previous weekend.

But Harry Kane pulled a goal back before half-time and strikes from Son Heung-min and Richarlison brought them level in dramatic fashion. Their efforts were all in vain as Jota scored the decisive goal to send Liverpool past Spurs into fifth in the Premier League table.

Neville was on co-commentary for Sky Sports and was quick to lay into Spurs, labelling the goal “the most Tottenham thing that you will ever see”. The former Manchester United defender had been hugely critical of Spurs all game and Sheringham backed up his point.

Asked by Lord Ping if he agreed with the comment, Sheringham said: “Without a doubt. I completely agree with Gary’s comments. I think Tottenham have lacked leadership all season.
