Liverpool vs Tottenham Report – Liverpool Match Report
Liverpool just managed to edge past Tottenham 2-1 at Anfield to stay in touch in this maverick Premier League title race. Roberto Firmino and a Toby Alderweireld own goal handed the home side the win, while Lucas Moura netted a deserving equaliser for the visitors earlier in the game.
Around the 16th minute, Andy Robertson produced a peach of a cross from the left-hand side to find the run of Firmino, who just had to get his header right to put Liverpool in front.
In a second half where Spurs played better and deserved a leveller, Moura was at the right place at the right time to score one 20 minutes from time.
A few minutes later, Moussa Sissoko had a great chance to finish off Liverpool, but he missed a sitter. Virgil van Dijk did well to block the angle for the Frenchman to find Son-Heung Min, but the Spurs man had to finish it off himself, which he didn’t.
In the 90th minute, a second phase of the corner fell to Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose cross found Mohamed Salah at the far post.
