Klopp: Politics mustn't come before football

Mohamed Salah cleverly fashioned one goal and was gifted another as Liverpool claimed a 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Salah opened the scoring after 11 minutes when he expertly controlled a pass from Darwin Nunez inside the area, turned and fired a low shot into the corner with his left foot. His second goal five minutes before half-time was a gift from Eric Dier who miscued a header from a kick downfield by Alisson and the Egyptian ran clear and dinked the ball past Hugo Lloris.

The hosts had their moments with Ivan Perisic hitting the woodwork in each half and they could have had a penalty when Ryan Sessegnon was bundled over by Trent Alexander-Arnold. After the break, Spurs raised their game, boosted by Dejan Kulusevski returning from injury off the bench. He had an almost instant impact as he fed Harry Kane who scored in the 70th minute

But Liverpool weathered the storm to claim the win and end a run of two Premier League defeats, leaving them eighth on 19 points after 13 games. Spurs slipped to fourth on 26 from 14.

Relive the action as Liverpool downed Spurs in the Premier League:

Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal

66 mins: Graham Potter makes a double substitution in response to that opening goal. Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja come on to replace Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Arsenal (Gabriel, 63’)⚽️

63 mins: Arsenal lead! Bukayo Saka curls a sharp, low corner into the six-yard box and Chelsea fail to deal with it. The ball passes two defenders and the goalkeeper before sitting up for Gabriel.

He leaves his marker and gets a toe on the ball to lift it into the roof of the net. Arsenal have broken the deadlock, can Chelsea respond?

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

60 mins: An hour played at Stamford Bridge and the match hasn’t burst into life as many would have hoped during half-time. Thiago Silva loses possession and Arsenal attack from the right.

Saka brings the ball forward and slides a pass into the box for Jesus. He has a narrow angle to play with and fizzes an effort at goal but Mendy is aware enough to turn the ball wide.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

57 mins: There was a break in play as one of the fans behind Aaron Ramsdale’s goal needed some medical attention but that seems to have been dealt with swiftly.

The pause allowed both managers to issue some updated instructions from the sidelines though and play has now resumed.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

54 mins: Chance! Oh Arsenal. Are they going to rue these missed chances?

The Gunners play a corner short to Martin Odegaard who carries the ball into the box and lifts it into the middle. Gabriel Martinelli is wide open but Thomas Partey arrives in front of him and glances the ball wide of the back post!

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

51 mins: A long ball up the pitch leads to a couple of errors from Arsenal. Zinchenko’s attempted headed clearance only sends the ball across to William Saliba who scuffs his kick as he tries to boot the ball away.

Instead it rolls to Aubameyang who shoots and wins a corner after Saliba recovers to get the block in. The Gunners then defend the resultant corner easily enough.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

48 mins: Saka is the designated corner taker for Arsenal. He tries to pick out Martinelli but Aubameyang gets there first and nods the ball away.

It comes to Kai Havertz who gets the better of Ben White but handles the ball just as he was about to launch a counter attack.

Second half: Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

Kick off: Arsenal get the match back underway at Stamford Bridge. There have been no changes for either manager at the break. The Gunners work the ball over to Saka on the right and once more he comes up against Cucurella and gets knocked to the floor.

Martin Odegaard’s free kick is whipped into the box but Thiago Silva nods it behind for an Arsenal corner.

Ivan Toney ‘assisting Football Association with enquiries’ over betting claims

England World Cup hopeful Ivan Toney has said he is helping the Football Association with an investigation after it was reported he is being probed over allegations of historic match betting.

A report in the Sun said the 26-year-old Brentford striker is the subject of an inquiry over historical allegations which relate to a period before he joined his current club.

The FA has declined to comment on the report, but Toney used social media to say he was co-operating with an investigation, indicating he hoped it would not impact his chances of being named in Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad on Thursday.

“I’m aware of a story about me in a national newspaper today,” Toney said on Twitter. “I have been assisting the Football Association with their enquiries and will not be making any comment until such investigation has reached its conclusion.”
