Liverpool’s title hopes were kept alive in dramatic fashion as a last minute own goal from Toby Alderweireld secured a vital win over Tottenham.
The Reds looked to be heading for two dropped points after Lucas Moura’s second half strike cancelled out Roberto Firmino’s opener, but Spurs ‘keeper Hugo Lloris parried Mo Salah’s last-gasp header in off his own defender’s legs to gift Jurgen Klopp’s side a 2-1 win and send them back to the top of the Premier League.
Klopp had Trent Alexander-Arnold fit to start, despite his withdrawal from the England squad during the international break, and returned to his trusted big-game trio of Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Georginio Wijnaldum in midfield, leaving Fabinho on the bench.
With Harry Winks and Eric Dier out injured, Mauricio Pochettino had no such luxury, naming a makeshift midfield, with attack-minded pair Moussa Sissoko and Christian Eriksen asked to sit at its base.
It was a first-half that could be neatly divided into thirds. The opening quarter of an hour saw Spurs settle the better, moving the ball around nicely, but when Andy Robertson bent a sensational cross into Firmino, the Brazilian nodded home to give the home side the lead and settle the Anfield nerves.
