English League Cup: Tottenham's misery continues with loss at Liverpool and Dowman stars for Arsenal
Arsenal continues their winning streak in the English League Cup with a dominant performance, while Tottenham struggles to find form and goals. The article highlights the contrast between Arsenal's depth and Tottenham's lack of return on their significant summer investment.
Why it matters
It reflects the current competitive disparity between two major North London football clubs and the pressure on high-spending teams to deliver results.
Arsenal can't stop winning. As for big-spending Tottenham , just scoring a goal is a feat in itself this season.
The current gulf between the two north London rivals was highlighted in the English League Cup on Tuesday, with Arsenal fielding almost an entire second-choice lineup and still overwhelming fellow Premier League team Ipswich in a 4-2 win in the third round.
Make that six straight win across all competitions to open the season for Arsenal.
Then there's Tottenham, which lost 3-1 in the pouring rain at Liverpool and isn't getting much return on its incredible $400 million outlay on new players in the summer transfer window.
At least Spurs scored. They haven't managed that in four Premier League games so far this season.
