It marked another disappointing defeat for Tottenham, who have lost over half of their Premier League games this season.

Postecoglou cut a frustrated figure in his post-match press conference, but he showed his class by putting his anger to one side and congratulating Liverpool on their momentous achievement.

"Credit to Liverpool, worthy champions and they have been the outstanding team all year, consistent and again today obviously," said the Aussie.

"I thought we started the game well and sort of made things difficult for them.

Even apart from the goal, I thought just in general I thought we had decent territory.

"But once they got in front with the atmosphere inside the stadium, it's fair to say it was going to be difficult for us to claw them back and that's how it proved."

Postecoglou made a total of eight changes to his Tottenham side, with the likes of Archie Gray, Kevin Danso and James Maddison all coming in.

"A lot of our players have missed a lot of this season with injuries and it wasn't just about bringing them back but managing their minutes.

"Guys like Micky and Romero today could have played but they've missed so much of the season that we've just got to be really careful about when we use them.

Guys like Pedro [Porro] and [Rodrigo] Bentancur have played a lot this year.

"It has been a juggling act for sure and that hasn't helped the team, hasn't helped the players and when you're facing the best you pay that price.

"We knew the challenge today was going to be a big one.

We had a really young midfield with Lucas [Bergvall] and Archie and you're asking a massive task of them.

"Changing three of the back four, all of these kind of things logically tell you it's going to be a tough day.

When you're facing the best team on such a massive occasion, it was always going to be a huge ask for us and it proved too much."
