Liverpool FC: From 4-1 Humiliation To Champions Of Europe
Define ignominious: Liverpool's 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham in October 2017.
That dank autumn afternoon was Jurgen Klopp's nadir as Reds manager, at a time when the first few doubts were creeping on about this most charismatic of men.

That’s unheard of, in my life, at least. It’s normally a case of getting in, doing what I’ve got …
A Lesson In Defending From Virgil van Dijk
Liverpool’s 2013/14 title challenge was defined by moments.
The moment Jordan Henderson saw red against Manchester City.
The moment Steven Gerrard lost his footing and Demba Ba emerged through on goal.
The moment Iago Aspas produced an abhorrent corner to set up a Chelsea counter.
All painful, pivotal nails in the coffin for Brendan Rodger’s side.
Sunday’s 2-1 win against Tottenham carried similar weight.
Manchester City will know their destiny remains in their own hands, with maximum points from their …
