  • 90'
    FT: Liverpool 4-3 Spurs. Wow, the Premier League just doesn't disappoint does it? After a manic last 3 minutes, Liverpool manage to scrape over the line for the three points. It was Jota who earned the win for the home side after a shock late strike from Richarlison. Fair result I'd say, with Liverpool on top for the most part.
  • 90'
    GOOOALLL FOR LIVERPOOOLL!!! What is going on here?!?! It's Jota with the immediate response there as a long Alisson ball was eventually met by the Portuguese man, who finishes into the bottom corner expertly.
  • 90'
    GOOOAALLLL FOR SPURSSS!! It's Richarlison who grabs the equaliser and the away fans are booming!! The Brazilian heads it into the ground with the bounce taking it over Alisson off a free-kick

    Spurs holding the fort while mixing that with some attacks.
  • 57'
    Great shot from Son there, forcing Alisson to tip it over the bar. Equally good save to be fair.
  • 54'
    Great chance from Spurs! Son hits the host after an incredible shot from outside the box, beating Alisson but not beating the post.

  • 52'
    Son booked after holding back Gakpo.
  • 50'
    Spurs under the cosh here and they've given away a corner.
  • 46'
    It's the home side who get us underway for this second half here...
  • 45'
    HT: Liverpool 3-1 Tottenham. First forty-five have come to an end here at Anfield and both sides will have mixed emotions from that half. Liverpool came straight out the blocks and raced into a three goal lead inside just 15 minutes while Tottenham were playing as badly as they have all season. This dynamic did seem to shift near the end of the half, with Kane grabbing one back before Son whacked one against the post.
  • 44'
    Son hits the post!! The South Korean weaves in and out of the Liverpool defence before opening fire only to see his shot thump against the post.
  • 41'
    Kulusevski robs Robertson off a ball as he'd gone to sleep, but can't convert.
  • 40'
    GOOOOAAALLLL FOR TOTTENHAM!! It's that man once more... Harry Kane! He finds himself completely unmarked in the centre of the box as the Liverpool defence were drawn to Perisic on the wing. The Croat then crossed it in for the English record-holder to thump home.
  • 34'
    Diaz is down and looks in a bit of pain here. Fingers crossed it's nothing serious after the bad luck he's bad with injuries of late...
  • 32'
    Liverpool still very much on top here, with Elliott unlucky to see his header go wide.
  • 26'
    Perisic caught offside on the far side there, much to his dismay.
  • 22'
    Just nothing from Spurs so far here, they'll need to wake up if they're to get anything from this. Still a lot of time left though of course...
  • 18'
    Corner for Liverpool here as they continue dominating.
Penalty scored
Goaaaaal from a penalty!

    Salah makes no mistake here, firing it straight into the roof of the net! Not like his last one at Anfield vs Arsenal.
  • 14'
    Reds get a penalty!!!! Diaz brought the foul from Romero and he trips the Colombian up.
  • 12'
    Liverpool maintaining the press here, they want more before the break.
  • 9'
    Couldn't have been a worse start for Spurs here, they'll need to refind the magic they found against Man United to come back from two behind...

    GOOOAAALLLL FOR LIVERPOOL!! Luis Diaz this time! After a long time out, the Colombian comes back with a bang, volleying in at the front post. It was a great move down the right flank, with Gakpo putting it in for the forward to punt home.
