Liverpool Score Dramatic Late Goal To Beat Spurs 2-1 At Anfield

Liverpool bagged a dramatic late winner to beat Spurs at Anfield courtesy of an own goal from Toby Alderweireld.

Trent Alexander-Arnold floated in a delicious cross to the far post that was met by Mo Salah and when Hugo Lloris couldn't keep hold of his header, Alderweireld ended up inadvertently gifting the Reds their 400th goal under Jurgen Klopp and a huge victory that takes them back to the top of the table.

Spurs, having levelled through Lucas Moura in the 70th minute, spurned a number of great chances to take the lead and looked like they were going to take all three points.

However, they still found time to shoot themselves in the foot late on for Liverpool's final meaningful attack.

Thanks to the late show, Liverpool are now back on top of the league by two points until Manchester City play their game in hand against Cardiff City on Wednesday night at the Etihad.

Jurgen Klopp's side are next in action away at St Mary's Stadium on Friday night when they take on Southampton.
