Liverpool comeback better than Tottenham's - Twitter poll

Tottenham's revival against Ajax on Wednesday received 45 per cent of the votes from @PAdugout's unofficial poll.

Liverpool produced the best Champions League comeback of the week, according to an unofficial poll conducted by Press Association Sport.

The Reds rallied from a 3-0 first-leg deficit to beat Barcelona 4-3 on aggregate after a remarkable 4-0 victory at Anfield on Tuesday.
