Sturridge knocks Spurs out of EFL Cup

LIVERPOOL, England -- Three points from Liverpool's 2-1 win over Tottenham in the EFL Cup.

1. Sturridge stars to knock out Spurs

His Premier League goal drought spans six months and 615 minutes of top-flight football, but Daniel Sturridge remains prolific in the EFL Cup, especially against weakened opposition. His tally for Liverpool now stands at eight goals in six appearances in this competition after he struck in either half against Tottenham, deciding the meeting of its last two beaten finalists. His excellence meant Jurgen Klopp's team became the first English club to defeat Tottenham this season.
