Watch: Van Dijk Left for Dead as Tottenham's Ivan Perisic shatter his reputation with Filthy Skill

Tottenham's Ivan Perisic showcased a sublime skill that left Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk embarrassed.

Liverpool hosted Tottenham at Anfield with the hope of enhancing their slim chances of securing a top-four finish with a victory.

Ryan Mason has been tasked with seeing out the season at Spurs after the previous interim manager, Cristian Stellini, was sacked following a disappointing result. As a result, Spurs are currently out of form.

According to the BBC, Liverpool took the lead in the third minute through Curtis Jones, who scored with the help of Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross.

Cody Gakpo played a significant role in setting up Luis Diaz's goal, doubling Liverpool's lead just moments after Curtis Jones' opener, as the Colombian forward marked his first start since September with an excellent finish.

After Cody Gakpo was fouled in the box, Mohamed Salah converted the resulting penalty to extend Liverpool's lead to 3-0. This led to some Tottenham fans leaving the stadium in disappointment.

Tottenham fans who left the stadium early missed out on a memorable moment from their team as Ivan Perisic displayed a stunning piece of skill that left Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk embarrassed. Although, Spurs managed to score a consolation goal through Harry Kane.

Ivan Perisic's fantastic skill to beat Virgil Van Dijk and assist Harry Kane's goal was a standout moment of the game, leaving the Liverpool defender embarrassed on the ground.

As far as the game went, Liverpool almost bottled their three-goal lead, but somehow found a late winner.

After Kane’s goal made it 3-1, Heung Min Son finished off a brilliant through ball in the 77th minute to make it 3-2.

Substitute Richarlison then scored in injury time with a brave header to level the scores, but Liverpool went forward one last time to steal a late winner, scored by Diogo Jota.

The result was quite significant for Liverpool as they leapfrogged Tottenham to move to fifth on the table as their faint hopes for Champions League football were kept alive.
