Alan Shearer fears Harry Kane, Son Heung-min grabs Dele Alli's nose and Tottenham end Liverpool hoodoo: EIGHT things you may have missed from Tottenham 4-1 Liverpool

• e-mail

Tottenham's fascinating encounter with Liverpool produced five goals goals as Mauricio Pochettino's side came out on top at Wembley.

It was yet another demonstration of how ruthless Spurs can be even if Liverpool didn't give up at any point during the match.

And while you already know the raw facts, Sportsmail was on hand to bring you a number of things you may have missed from Sunday's late kick-off. 

Son Heung-min is congratulated by fellow scorer Kane as Tottenham bagged their second goal

'He's coming for me.'

Harry Kane is a major concern for any Premier League defence. But also, it turns out, he's scaring the life out of strikers, too. Or former strikers, I should add.

Alan Shearer holds the record for Premier League goals - 260. And despite Kane only being on 86 after Sunday's game, the likelihood of the 24-year-old surpassing the former Newcastle striker's total before the end of his career is high.

It prompted Shearer, during the thrashing of Liverpool, to tweet: 'He's coming for me, he's coming for meeeeeee, @HKane he's coming for me! #260 #TOTLIV.'

Son's cheeky nose grab 

Dele Alli''s strike for the third Tottenham goal was sweetly struck. He celebrated by throwing his arms back and running towards the home supporters.

But his team-mates weren't finished there. As Alli hugged striker Harry Kane, winger Son Heung-min grabbed the 21-year-old's nose.

The pair of them are very close friends at Spurs and you did wonder if Alli would have returned the gesture if Son had got his second of the afternoon before he was substituted.

Lovren and Matip's horror show 

It was a partnership that had meant to be so strong. Indeed, until now Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip, when playing together in central defence, hadn't been involved in a Liverpool defeat away from home.

Certain weaknesses had been exposed before but not in the same way. Lovren was substituted shortly after the half hour mark but not before he had made two errors that led to Tottenham's first two goals.

Matip didn't do much better, particularly for the third goal when his weak clearance was slammed into the back of the net by Dele Alli.

Coutinho's scoring run dries up

If there is one man Liverpool would want in their side every week it's Philippe Coutinho. 

He provides the Reds with creativity and, importantly, goals. He'd also started to get into the habit of scoring away from home. In fact he had scored in all of Liverpool's last four away games before the trip to Wembley.

That run dried up on Sunday as he struggled in front of goal at Wembley. The closest he came was with a left-footed effort that required a fantastic save by Hugo Lloris to deny him.

Trippier is Kane's best friend 

There was a suggestion when Kyle Walker left to join Manchester City that Tottenham wouldn't be able to provide as good a service from the right flank for Harry Kane. 

That concern has quickly evaporated this season as Kieran Trippier has shown he is more than capable of being Tottenham's main wing back.

He also enjoys a healthy relationship with Kane on the pitch. He's assisted the striker on seven occasions in the Premier League in 2017 - more than any other Spurs player.

Nine games and out 

Not only was this an important victory for Tottenham it was also a historic one. 

It was the first time Tottenham had beaten Liverpool in all competitions since November 2012 when Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon scored in a 2-1 win.

It's unlikely they will go so long again without a win - at least for the next few seasons or so.

Four league games at Wembley and no goals. 

Nobody was ever going to worry too much but for those who were starting to wonder if Harry Kane would ever score a league goal at the national stadium they needn't fret any longer.

After collecting Kieran Trippier's pass, Kane dinked the ball over Simon Mignolet before showing composure to pass into an open net in the opening stages. He got his second of the game after 56 minutes.

Premier League attendance record broken

It was going to happen eventually. Sunday's attendance at Wembley - 80,827 - set a new record for a Premier League attendance.

It beats the previous record of 76,098, which was set by Manchester United at Old Trafford in 2007.

The home supporters on Sunday certainly got value for money.
