Toby Alderweireld believes Tottenham’s display against Liverpool proves they can compete with the very best sides in Europe.
Spurs were beaten by title-chasing Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield at the end of March, however, the visitors had many chances to win it before Alderweireld’s own goal earned the Reds three valuable points.
