Tottenham Defeat 9-Man Liverpool 2:1

Goals on either side of Cody Gakpo after four minutes of added time in the first half handed Tottenham the three points.

This is Tottenham’s second victory against Liverpool in 25 games.

Gakpo equalised in a shocking fashion against the 11 men before the break.

It got worse for Liverpool when Diogo Jota was dismissed for a second yellow card offence.

Liverpool looked to have secured a point after a flurry of changes but an own goal in the 6th minute of added time settled the contest in favour of Tottenham.

Tottenham moved to second on the log with 17 points levelled with Arsenal (Third) while Liverpool are seventh with 16 points.

Manchester City despite defeat at Wolves remain number one with 18 points.
