In the Premier League’s peak game, Liverpool secured the championship lead against Tottenham. In the 2-1 win, Mohamed Salah gave the defending champions the lead (26th minute), while Son Heung-min tied for Spurs (33rd). In the 90th minute, Roberto Firmino headed for victory.
In the first half, Liverpool made the game, although Curtis Jones and Rhys Williams, both 19, had two teenagers in the starting eleven. Tottenham retired well in their own half against the ball and formed two compact defenses four in front of their own penalty area. The almost destructive game, which at times seemed that of a relegation candidate, is typical of a team led by coach José Mourinho.
When Liverpool came to an end, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was mostly there. So with a header from Roberto Firmino (11th) and a shot from the Brazilian (35). But not in the 26th minute, when Curtis Jones brought the ball from the left wing into the box and Tottenham’s Serge Aurier put the ball down for Salah. His shot was deflected in such a way that it flew in a high arc against the right post and into the goal.
22 percent possession, one shot on goal in the first round
Liverpool had more than 78 percent possession of the ball in the first half, eight shots from Jürgen Klopp’s team. The Spurs, however, fired only once in the direction of the opposing goal in the first round; After a quick setup on Giovani Lo Celso, Son converted his team’s first result ahead of Alisson Becker (33rd).
In the second half, Tottenham ran higher, so they won the balls earlier and had quicker chances to finish. Bergwijn missed twice against Alisson, once he put the ball close to the goal (46th), once against the post (63rd). Suddenly Tottenham were the best team. However, it was not enough to lead.
And not even for a tie. Liverpool strengthened again in the later stages. Sadio Mané forgave when he hit the crossbar from a close angle and at close range (74º). After a corner, Firmino went to the corner (90º).
