Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge scored a brace as the Reds extended their unbeaten run to 10 games against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday.

Sturridge handed Liverpool the lead in their EFL Cup tie shortly before the 10-minute mark as he struck home past Michel Vorm.

Jurgen Klopp’s bold tactics of making 11 changes to the side that beat West Brom 2-1, paid off in a scrappy encounter against Mauricio Pochettino’s side, featuring 10 changes from the weekend.

Despite scoring, Sturridge wasted two golden chances before sliding a second past Vorm in an impressive performance from the England international.

Spurs responded through a Vincent Janssen penalty in the 76th minute, but failed to create enough chances to secure an equaliser at Anfield.
