AI summary
National media focused on Liverpool's clinical finishing in their 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Tottenham on Tuesday, contrasting it with Spurs' bluntness. The Times noted the irony of De Zerbi failing to land Gakpo in the summer despite spending £320million elsewhere, only to be punished by the winger's quality at Anfield. The Guardian's Andy Hunter wrote of Liverpool "toying" with Tottenham, whose attacking play was "harmless" by comparison. Szoboszlai's 30-yard volley in added time drew particular praise, with the midfielder celebrating by pointing to his ear in response to recent criticism.
