Liverpool secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday to return to the top of the Premier League table.
Roberto Firmino headed the Reds into the lead after 16 minutes of play, nodding in from Andy Robertson’s first-rate delivery from the left.
Lucas Moura leveled for Spurs with 20 minutes left on the clock when he swept beyond Alisson Becker after Christian Eriksen had failed to connect with Kieran Trippier’s low cross.
The contest looked to be heading for draw until Hugo Lloris pushed Mohamed Salah’s header against the shins of Toby Alderweireld and over the line to give Liverpool what could prove a crucial victory in the race to be crowned champions.
The result takes the Reds two points ahead of Manchester City, though they’ve played a game more than their title rivals.
