Four Findings: Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham

Fortress Anfield remains intact after an early scare, as Liverpool beat Tottenham 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.

When Moussa Sissoko picked up a loose ball and eventually found Son Heung-min, the South Korean sent a deflected shot off the post and Harry Kane headed past Alisson for a stunning first-minute opener.

Anfield never wavered, though, and the Reds responded.

After a barrage of attacks that failed to find the net in the first half, Liverpool began the second in a similar manner.

Son hit the woodwork at the other end, before the Reds finally equalised when Jordan Henderson fired home in front of the Kop.

As the minutes passed, the Reds continued to press the north London side into submission.

Sadio Mane’s raw pace to get on the end of a Trent Alexander-Arnold ball over the top saw him fouled in the box by Serge Aurier and referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the penalty spot.

Mohamed Salah found the net to complete the comeback, as Jurgen Klopp’s side secured another invaluable three points.

While the Reds had to withstand a late onslaught from Spurs in the final minutes, there was only going to be one winner on Merseyside and they would not be from London.

Here are four findings from the match.
