Diogo Jota’s injury-time winner gave Liverpool the edge in a dramatic 4-3 victory at Anfield over Tottenham Hotspurs.
Spurs found themselves three goals adrift at Anfield within fifteen minutes as Liverpool delivered an opening salvo courtesy goals from Curtis jones, Luis Diaz and a Mohammed Salah penalty.
Harry Kane, who became the first player to score in four consecutive Premier League away games without winning a single one since Steven Fletcher in 2012, found the back of the net after Ivan perisic had left Virgil Van Dijk sprawling on the grass before sending in a floated cross into the area.
Son heung-Min then slotted in a second between Alisson’s legs after a long ball over the top beat the Liverpool defence.
Richarlison, who had just come on alongside Lucas Moura, then glanced in Son Heung-Min’s freekick to make it 3-all with his first Premier League goal of the season.
Seconds after Spurs looked to have pulled an incredible comeback from 3-0 down to 3-3 with Ricahrlison’s glanced header, Portuguese forward Jota put the Reds back in the lead after a defensive error.
Liverpool move up to fifth to retain slim hopes of Champions League football but earlier victories for Manchester United and Newcastle United make this an increasingly long shot.
