End of match

End of match

  • 96'
    FT: Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool!!! All over in North London!! What a huge win for Klopp's men! They end their winless run and their goal drought with a fully deserved win. They were the much better team and goals from Firmino and TAA put them 0-2 up. Hojbjerg gave Spurs hope, but Mane ended any chances of a fightback. Son at 0-0 and Salah at 1-2 had goals disallowed by VAR reviews.
  • 95'
    Spurs attack through Bale, but they lose the forward, Origi is fouled and that will be that.
  • 94'
    Two minutes to go here and I think everyone is waiting for full-time.
  • 91'
    Five extra minutes.
  • 90'
    Son goes down into the area and after a ball into the box, but Phillips jumps up to head away. Doesn't look a pen.
  • 89'
    Very little to report here in the last few minutes.
  • 87'
    Liverpool sub: Firmino is taken off and Origi is on. A good night's work from the Brazilian.
  • 86'
    Spurs haven't looked like scoring here since conceding the third. They've thrown in the towel.
  • 84'
    Liverpool go forward looking for a fourth, but they can't get a shot off.
  • 80'
    Spurs sub: Bale on for Bergwijn.
  • 80'
    Liverpool attack, but the flag is up.
  • 79'
    A long ball forward by Spurs easily finds Alisson.
  • 78'
    Bale is about to come on. It's a tall order for him.

    Liverpool sub: Thiago is replaced by Jones.
  • 77'
    Salah is sent a long ball forward by TAA, he miscontrols and Spurs concede the corner.
  • 75'
    Liverpool were the better side in the first half, but they've been far superior in the second.
  • 71'
    Thiago has a go here and it flies wide of the goal.
  • 69'
    Liverpool look comfortable now after that third goal.
  • 66'
    It's an uphill task now for Mourinho's men.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 65'
    Mane scores now for Liverpool!! A cross by TAA is allowed to bounce in the box by Rodon and Mane fires past Lloris!
  • 64'
    Firmino!!! Salah goes forward, falls over and gets up to play in Firmino and the Brazilian hits the sidenetting.
  • 62'
    Mane catches Hojbjerg from bejind and it's a Spurs free-kick.
  • 62'
    Shots: 3-11.
  • 61'
    Wijnaldum goes for goal and it's wide of the target.
  • 60'
    That's given Spurs a real lifeline.
  • 58'
    Handball given against Firmino and that's the right call! The officials deemed it to be a deliberate handball. Had it been an accidental one, it would have counted as it wasn't immediately before the goal.
  • 58'
    The ref is going to see this and this can't count.
  • 57'
    It's not in the immediate build up so it won't be disallowed if it's accidental. If it's deliberate, it will be disallowed. It's deliberate for me as he clearly moves his hand towards the ball.
  • 56'
    Salah makes it 1-3!!!! Controversy here as Firmino deliberately controls the ball with his hand, the ball goes to Thiago, who gives it Mane and then Salah gets it and a Winks deflection sees the ball go in.
  • 56'
    Thiago is sporting a bandage on his head.
  • 54'
    Still 1-2 here and it's been a very fast start to this one.
  • 52'
    Very nasty head clash here involved Rodon and Thiago and the Spaniard is bleeding.

  • 45'
    45+4: Firmino scores!!!! Liverpool score here!!! A pass by Henderson finds Mane on the far side, Mane controls with his chest and he curs back for Firmino who taps in from two yards out. Dier left the ball when Firmino was behind him. Miscalculation and a hammer blow for the hosts.
  • 45'
    45+2: Milner's ball into the box is aimed at Mane and he can't direct the header goalwards.
  • 45'
    Four added minutes due to the injuries.
  • 45'
    Doherty fouls Thiago and I think the Spurs man is a bit lucky not to be carded there.
  • 44'
    Thiago is penalised after fouling while going for the second ball.
  • 44'
    Corner for Liverpool here.
  • 42'
    Mane!!! Thiago passes to Firmino who nicely plays in Mane and his strike is well saved by Lloris!
  • 42'
    Free-kick to the home side here.
  • 41'
    Chance for Liverpool, but nothing comes of it.
  • 39'
    Shots: 2-4, on target: 1-2.
  • 37'
    Kane is penalised for handball.
  • 36'
    Great defending by Rodon to tackle Mane as he was about to shoot! Very open.
  • 36'
    Spurs claim for a free-kick as Kane looks for Son and Alisson handles the ball. Spurs thought it was outside the box.
  • 35'
    It's Kane's left ankle and he is walking gingerly to the sideline. I think he may have not fully got over the previous knock.
  • 34'
    Double injury here for Spurs. Kane is holding his ankle after colliding with Henderson while Dier is getting treatment after his leg got trapped as Mane slid in for the challenge.
  • 33'
    A long pass is sent into the area and Mane fouls the Spurs man as he goes for the ball.
  • 32'
    Still no goals here and it's a very competitive match. A draw is very fair.

  • 24'
    Thiago is booked for a foul on Hojbjerg. This game is being played at a frenetic pace.
  • 24'
    Mane!!!!! Mane plays a lovely one-two with Salah, the looping pass finds Mane who can't quite get on the end of the ball.
  • 23'
    60% possession for the visitors.
  • 22'
    Son!!! What an opportunity! Spurs counter through Kane, he plays in Son and the South Korean's shot is very tame. Alisson saves easily.
  • 21'
    Firmino!!! Milner gives the Brazilian the ball and his shot from 20 yards is straight at the goalie!
  • 20'
    Matip!!! Dier sends a long ball forward for Son who runs down this near side and into the box before Matip dispossesses him.
  • 18'
    Liverpool go forward through Firmino and he looks to find Salah, but the Egyptian checks his run as he knows he's offside.
  • 16'
    Milner picks out TAA on this near touchline and the cutback doesn't find a Liverpool man.

  • 15'
    Kane goes to the touchline and play resumes.
  • 14'
    It's a foul and Kane is in a bit of trouble here.
  • 13'
    Thiago slips and ends up trapping Kane's ankle.
  • 12'
    The visitors have been the better side since the disallowed goal.
  • 12'
    A ball looks for Bergwijn, but he can't get there and Alisson claims.
  • 10'
    Firmino goes down in the box, but the ref says no penalty. Salah had put the ball in to the far post and Thiago's header back to the other post saw Firmino fall.
  • 8'
    Liverpool go forward with lovely quick passing, but they lose the ball near the Spurs area.
  • 6'
    This is a very open game! End to end stuff.
  • 4'
    No goal!!! Son was just offside.
  • 3'
    Son puts Spurs in the lead!!! Liverpool can't score, Spurs do!! The ball is passed to Son by Ndombele who then gives it to Kane and he lays it off for Son who scores! But I think Son is just offside initially.
  • 1'
    Milner commits the first foul of the game.
  • 1'
    Liverpool get us going from left to right! Both teams in their usual kits!
