Liverpool had done well to hold on to their title with wins against Newcastle United and Crystal Palace but came unstuck in the 6th Round of the FA Cup at Anfield.
Liverpool may feel slightly aggrieved. At the start of the season, Tottenham Hotspur were barred from the FA Cup due to 'financial irregularities'. Eventually, the FA rescinded on the ban.
Robbie Fowler put the Reds ahead in the 38th minute with a header from Mark Walters' cross.
However, Spurs equalised when Teddy Sheringham was set up by Jurgen Klinsmann on the edge of the box and he stroked the ball into the goal in his almost effortless style.
It took until the 88th minute for the winner. Liverpool failed to clear their lines from a throw, Darren Anderton played it forward, Sheringham flicked it on and Klinsmann came running in to put the ball beyond David James.
A place in the semi-finals and a second Unofficial English Championship for Spurs.
