Toby Alderweireld's late own goal gives Liverpool a dramatic win over Tottenham as they move back to the top of the Premier League.
Toby Alderweireld's own goal was the 33rd in the Premier League era that Liverpool have scored after the 90-minute mark
Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris failed to hold Mohamed Salah's routine far-post header and the ball ricocheted into the net off Alderweireld. There was little degree of difficulty about the save the France World Cup winner needed to make from Salah's header, which was on target but hardly laced with menace, in the final minute of normal time.
Roberto Firmino's seventh goal in his past six league games at Anfield gave Liverpool a first-half leadTottenham's players slumped to the ground in anguish at the final whistle; they clearly felt they had been denied their just reward. Spurs, after a tame first half, were outstanding in the second, but they are now without a Premier League win since 10 February and are embroiled in the fight for a top four place - with a Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City to come.
"In the first half, we had fantastic chances and scored a wonderful goal. In the second half, we looked heavy and couldn't really play. They changed only a little bit. We didn't adapt well. After Spurs' goal, we started playing again more. "I was telling the players in the changing room we have seven games and we are in top four and need to compete. It's a mini league and, playing the way we played today, I think we can achieve the top four."Liverpool extended their unbeaten home league run to 37 games - the joint-second longest such streak in Premier League history , behind only Chelsea's 86-match run between 2004-2008.
