Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes that his side's first win against a top five team this season demonstrates that they can compete with the best in the Premier League.
Until they picked up all three points at the weekend the Reds had only managed to take four points off any of the teams above them and Gerrard hailed the victory.
"It's a big win for us. With our performances against the top sides this season I think we've been very unlucky not to get a win,” he told Sky Sports.
"It's been too long so there's a bit of relief really that we have proved we can beat one of the top sides in the league.
"I think on current form, along with ourselves, Tottenham are probably the best team in the league."
"When we went out of the Europa League the message from the manager was that we needed to try to win as many of our remaining games as possible.
"Our form is good but we can't afford to get carried away just because we've beaten Tottenham. We need to show what we've shown in all of our remaining games. We want to finish above Everton and as high as we can in the league."
The England skipper also went on to praise Liverpool's goalkeeping coach who put together a video for him to watch, should he get an opportunity to take a penalty.
"There are so many details that go into the games nowadays. John did a montage on their goalie for me before the game.
"He (Hugo Lloris) consistently went to the right and I think he had saved four out of eight going to his right.
"I was always going to his left having watched that, but if I had never got that montage then I would probably have gone to his right so credit to John."
