Liverpool secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in a dramatic Premier League encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, leaving the hosts down to nine players by the final whistle.
The match exploded in the second half after a scoreless first period marred by Spurs’ Xavier Simons receiving a straight red card in the 33rd minute for a serious foul.
Liverpool capitalized post-interval, with Alexander Isak breaking the deadlock in the 56th minute, assisted by Florian Wirtz.
Hugo Ekitike doubled the lead ten minutes later, finishing off a move from Jeremie Frimpong.
Tottenham pulled one back through Richarlison in the 83rd minute, but their hopes faded when Cristian Romero was sent off in stoppage time for unsportsmanlike conduct, following an earlier yellow.
Multiple bookings and injuries added to the chaos, including yellow cards for players like Rodrigo Bentancur and Dominik Szoboszlai.
The win keeps Liverpool atop the table, while Spurs rue disciplinary issues in a feisty affair.
