Tottenham are still looking to register their first win in the Premier League since beating Southampton in September following their late defeat at Liverpool.
Making the best possible start inside the first minute as Harry Kane headed home after Son Heung-min's deflected effort hit the post and fell into his path, strikes from Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah after the break turned the game in Liverpool's favour.
It has meant that Spurs are now 11th in the league table and they currently sit eight points off both Leicester City and Chelsea in the race for the top four.
While there are still plenty of points to be won and lost between now and May, Mauricio Pochettino's side cannot really afford to let the gap get even bigger given how well both of their rivals are playing.
However, Kane has admitted that is not a worry at present given the fact that teams have only played 10 league games so far.
"Not at this stage. I think there's a lot of football to be played and a lot of games left," he said after the defeat. "It's important just to concentrate on ourselves at the moment and we pick up our form as at the moment it's not good enough.
"We're not winning enough games and we need to put that right and the rest will take care of itself."
Spurs start November with an away trip to Everton and they will be hopeful to extend their recent good run against the Toffees.
The team do tend to hit their best form around November and Kane is hoping that's the case once again.
"That's got to be the aim," he added. "We've got to turn it around quick.
"When you're in a run of form like this when you cannot get a good run of wins together it's difficult.
"It's down to us to stick together, do more and to work harder and try come out of it."
