Report and highlights as Liverpool have Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off at Tottenham and then see Joel Matip divert Pedro Porros cross into his own goal after Cody Gakpos strike cancels out Heung-Min Son opener; Tottenham second in Premier League table, Liverpool fourth
Liverpool were on the wrong end of another call soon after when Luis Diaz's finish was ruled out for offside. A fine Spurs move finished by Heung-min Son rubbed salt in the wounds. Richarlison almost made it two, hitting the far post.
In something of a 5-3-0 set-up, the Reds - the comeback kings this season - thought they'd pulled off their gutsiest display of the lot. But at the final moment it all went Spurs' way.This Saturday night headline contest was hotly anticipated given the form and style of play of both sides this season and it did not disappoint.
Jones' punishment was increased to a red card and those images which had convinced Hooper drew loud boos from the Tottenham fans when they were played on the big screen. Neville was sympathetic to Jones but regardless of intent, it was a challenge Jones would have been fortunate to get away with. As half-time approached, Richarlison was inches away from making it two, with his shot across goal coming back off the upright. But it was Liverpool who would land a big blow before the break.
There was more drama at the same end at the start of the second half as Alisson produced two stunning saves in quick succession to deny Maddison and Son.Save of the season contender from Alisson denies Son from restoring Spurs' lead. Liverpool had remained a threat on the counter with one player less. But without two they were pushed back to their own box - but Spurs couldn't capitalise on the wide open spaces on the pitch. They struggled to fashion any real meaningful chances. The away fans cheered the relatively low number of six added minutes. But in the fifth of those, Spurs finally broke through with the help of the unfortunate Matip.
