Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham: Late Firmino header, save the reds

After Roberto Firmino grabbed a late winner, Liverpool climbed three points clear of Tottenham at the top of the Premier League.

As Tottenham were beaten 2-1 at Anfield, Roberto Firmino’s late header put Liverpool top of the Premier League table.

After Mohamed Salah’s 14th goal of the season put the champions in front, Son Heung-controversial min’s first-half equaliser looked to have held Spurs at the top on goal difference.

In the 90th minute, however, Firmino rose to head home Andy Robertson’s corner to win it dramatically, and put the Reds three points away from Jose Mourinho’s side.

When Robertson’s delivery came in, Spurs felt Firmino’s goal should have been called out for a foul by Jordan Henderson on Eric Dier, but Spurs’ 11-match unbeaten run in the top flight came to a halt.

In the second half, both teams reached the woodwork through Steven Bergwijn and Sadio Mane before it was won by Firmino.
