Fabinho gets the first tasty challenge in of the day, a late tackle on Eric Dier.
Spurs have settled to become the side with the greater intent to hold onto possession, although they're far from being their clinical best.
Watch the goal
VAR reviewed the decision, but the penalty was given. You can watch Mohamed Salah give Liverpool the lead inside two minutes here
20: Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
Spurs are pressing well here and Liverpool are struggling to get up the pitch, even Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah are struggling to get involved in the game in wide areas.
Tottenham with 63 per cent of the possession here. Sadly, for them, they're not doing too much with it.
They get forward and Son Heung-min gets one-on-one with Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the defender does well to deny him anything.

Another Liverpool corner is aimed right in the six-yard and Hugo Lloris does really well to punch it away again.

Liverpool attack down the left and work the ball to Andy Robertson. The defender curls a ball towards the back post and Danny Rose just about clears it before Mohamed Salah gets to it.
25: Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
Andy Robertson catches Kieran Tripper with late arm and it's a little heated down there. Mauricio Pochettino is on hand to calm things down.
28: Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
There's still a calmness to this Tottenham side, despite going a goal down inside the second minute.
