Tottenham’s recent run of results against Liverpool is the stuff of cursed legend.
Spurs have suffered Champions League final heartbreak, Jose Mourinho embarrassment and last-minute despair at the hands of the Reds. The two sides squared off on Saturday night and it provided a night where all vital decisions seemed to swing the home side’s way.
The game promised to be an entertaining affair boasting football from managers Ange Postecoglou and Jurgen Klopp and the first half ended level despite a few calls going Tottenham’s way.
Curtis Jones slipped over the top of the ball and caught Yves Bissouma flush on the ankle, having his yellow card upgraded to a red after VAR intervention midway through the first half.

The player advantage unsurprisingly worked to Tottenham’s favour as they took the lead around ten minutes after the incident.
Richarlison raced in behind and squared to the free Son Heung-min who prodded Tottenham ahead on the scoresheet.

Liverpool’s player deficit didn’t look like it was being aided by Cody Gakpo, the Dutchman limping towards the interval, but instead he drew the away side level with a brilliant finish. Gakpo collected Virgil van Dijk’s header across the box, swivelled and powered a strike that Guglielmo Vicario could only get fingertips to.

Liverpool still looked threatening at the start of the second half as they tried to catch Tottenham on the counter, but their job got a lot harder thanks to the misadventures of substitute Diogo Jota.
The Portugal international replaced the injured Gakpo at half time but collected two bookings in as many minutes midway through the second period to leave Liverpool with only nine players.
