Joel Matip's 96th-minute own goal ended the brave resistance of nine-player Liverpool as Tottenham triumphed 2-1 in a Premier League thriller to go second in the table above their rivals Arsenal. Liverpool's players were crushed as the ball hit the net in the very final seconds of an epic encounter. Some flat on their back. Some down on their haunches. Matip with a look of despair as Alisson tried to find some words of comfort for the defender who had inadvertently diverted Pedro Porro's last-gasp drilled cross into his own net.
The contrast with the celebrations around them couldn't have been more stark. Porro tore away into the corner to celebrate with the delirious home fans. Another incredible win for Spurs to savour. The best one since the last home game against Sheffield United, when two injury-time goals grabbed the three points. Ange Postecoglou was serenaded at full-time. The new manager already adored for what he has done to this club.
