Ange Postecoglou has tended to play down the significance of the domestic cups at Tottenham, previously insisting that they were not a quick fix for the club's problems, but the head coach made no attempt to dismiss the potential impact of beating Liverpool on Thursday.

Ange Postecoglou says Son Heung-min and Ben Davies have really stepped up for Tottenham Hotspur in recent times.
