The first 20 minutes of this match were the best I think I've seen from spurs.
Especially when you consider the opposition.

Is that really from the BBC? I didn't see one mention of "Liverpool" or "Salah" in that...

No, I actually think the first 20 minutes were the best 20 minutes of football I've seen.
We hounded them all over the pitch, tore the defence apart and could have had 3 or 4 before they started getting possession of the ball. They were literally punch drunk, chasing shadows and were so very lucky not to be burried before there was a 2 on the clock.
This was against a team that hadn't lost a game all season in any competition, that were being touted as favourites for the match, that had "one of the worlds best" in Hazard playing.
All this while we had no Rose, no Vertonghen, no Dembele, no Trippier, no Wanyama.
"They" said Chelsea had much better strength in depth, that their bench was better. "They" didn't bank on Foyth being good enough to start, Sissoko learning how to play football at his age, Dier having a solid match, Son being noticeably fitter than most after a break, all leading to a bench that had Vertonghen, Moura, Lamela and Winks to chose from when 3-0 up.
