Roman Pavlyuchenko and Fraizer Campbell scored two goals each for the holders, who won the trophy in February under former boss Juande Ramos.

Damien Plessis and Sami Hyypia scored for Liverpool before Spurs goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes was carried off with a head injury with 20 minutes remaining.

There was only a tame penalty shout of note before the match exploded into life seven minutes before the break after Gareth Bale slipped the ball down the left flank for Campbell.

The low cross was met first time by Pavlyuchenko and the powerful finish went through Diego Cavalieri's legs.

Campbell grabbed his first in the 42nd minute after Jamie O'Hara chipped through, Cavalieri and Andrea Dossena got in the way of each other, leaving an open goal for the striker.

His next goal was a header from Aaron Lennon's cross, a neat finish to give Spurs a three-goal lead.

Liverpool have history when it comes to coming back from 3-0 down, and they were given hope when Plessis headed home Babel's corner from the left three minutes after the restart.

Pavlyuchenko replied immediately, restoring the three-goal cushion when he tapped in Didier Zokora's cross.

But their hopes did not fade entirely with Fernando Torres' departure, as Hyypia headed in from another corner and as Spurs protected their lead, there were worrying scenes for Redknapp as goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes required lengthy treatment after Philipp Degen caught him.
