Your support makes all the difference.What a game. Tottenham once more displayed the fortitude that saw them comeback against Manchester United in their last outing but this time it wasn’t enough.
From the outset things looked bad for Ryan Mason’s side as Liverpool scored twice in the opening five minutes as Curtis Jones and the returning Luis Diaz fired home from close range. A shocking tackle from Cristian Romero then set up Mo Salah to score from the penalty spot and Spurs were trailing by three after quarter of an hour.
It took them another 20 minutes to grow into the game but the ended the half in fine fashion with Harry Kane volleying home Son Heung-min’s cross to pull one back and send the visitors into the break with some belief. The second half saw Spurs utilise the counter-attack effectively but it was a long ball that fed Son into the penalty area where he slotted a low effort past Alisson.
But the game was decided from the bench. Richarlison came on for Spurs and found the equaliser in stoppage time only for Diogo Jota to pounce on Lucas Moura’s loose backpass to win the game just over a minute later.
