Tottenham triumph most complete performance of Liverpool reign - Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers felt Liverpool's 5-0 victory over Tottenham was the best performance of his tenure at the Merseyside club.

Two goals from Luis Suarez and one each from Jordan Henderson, Jon Flanagan and Raheem Sterling gave the Reds a commanding victory over Spurs at White Hart Lane and the manager believes it was the most complete display he has been a part of during his time at Anfield.

"It was fantastic," Rodgers told Sky Sports. "It was everything we'd wanted out of the game.

"First and foremost, our work-rate, how we pressed the ball as a team, was outstanding and that earned us the right to play.

"We got five goals and could easily have had seven or eight. That was probably the most complete performance since I've been here, and just continues the evolution of what we're trying to do.

"We just want to continue improving, continue to work on how we play. Today was great and I really enjoyed watching the team today in every aspect."
