Roberto Firmino put Liverpool clear at the top of the Premier League table with a last-gasp winner against Tottenham.
The defending champions dominated the first half and took the lead as Mohamed Salah’s shot looped in off Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld.
Yet the visitors, who came into the game as joint leaders, were soon level as Son Heung-min scored his 99th Spurs goal from Giovani lo Celso’s through ball.
Steven Bergwijn and Sadio Mane struck the woodwork for each side in the second half, before Harry Kane went close.
