In moments of strife, you can normally rely on Tottenham Hotspur to lend a helping hand.
So it proved for Liverpool on Thursday as they ended their wait for a Premier League goal and victory with a hugely impressive 3-1 triumph in the capital.
Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane scored the goals to elevate the Reds back into the top four and within four points of leaders Manchester City.
Yours truly was on ratings duty with two performances in particular catching the eye.
Gini Wijnaldum dominated in a defensive midfield role while Firmino revelled against his favourite opponents, both earning a rating of 9.
They were backed up by a clutch of players on 8 in Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and Sadio Mane.
Nobody scored lower than 7.
What everyone else said
Of course, other ratings are available. And the national media lauded many of Liverpool's players.
The Mail do things by halves and had Mane top on 8.5 ahead of Alexander-Arnold on 8. Matip and Phillips only scored 6.
The Independent were very impressed with Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Milner, Firmino and Mane all given the top score of 8.
Making a special guest appearance, Sky Sports ranked Alexander-Arnold best with 9. Matip, though, was somehow given just 5.
Meanwhile, The Times couldn't separate Alexander-Arnold, Henderson, Wijnaldum and Firmino, who all notched 8. Matip was again singled out with 5.
Finally, the number-crunchers at WhoScored.com calculated Mane was best on 8.61 ahead of Alexander-Arnold on 8.51.
