Tottenham striker Harry Kane hailed their performance for the 4-1 rout of Liverpool.

Dejan Lovren was substituted after just 31 minutes at Wembley but he was not the only one guilty of awful defending, with Simon Mignolet and Joel Matip both major contributors to Spurs' goal flurry.

Kane and Son Heung-min took full advantage with an early double before Mohamed Salah pulled one back for Liverpool. Dele Alli and Kane, however, struck either side of half-time to put the result beyond doubt.

Kane said: "We wanted to start fast and get the crowd on their feet and that's exactly what we've done."

"When it went 2-1 we had to stay focused and we knew we were going to get more chances.

"We probably could have (scored more). Their goal came against the run of play, we were really pushing. We could have had the third and fourth early on.

"Defensively we were solid and we were very good on the counter-attack. We're very happy with the performance."

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino added: "I am so happy. The effort was fantastic. For my players to be ready again after Madrid is pleasing.

"It was very good and I am so pleased for the team and our fans because we changed that feeling that it was difficult to play at Wembley. It's starting to feel like this is our home. It's important to get that feeling."
