Premier League – Matchday 20 – The last time we saw an opposition between Tottenham and Liverpool, it was a clash in the head between the first and his runner-up. Since then, the two teams have fallen in the standings and they clashed for a completely different challenge no less important: to get back to the podium. The Reds found their way back to dominating Spurs in an absolutely wonderful game. Final score: 1-3.
Liverpool was going very badly at the start of the year. Indeed, if the Reds had not yet experienced success in the Premier League, it was undoubtedly, the fault of an absolutely extinct attack. No goal scored in the league since the transition to the new year, it was the heavy finding for the men of Jürgen Klopp. In front of them, it is a Tottenham which began to find legs, which presented itself. With one game less, the Spurs could also relaunch in the title race by winning.

The game got off to a flying start at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Well started in the meantime by Harry Kane, Son thought to open the scoring but his goal was refused for an offside position beforehand (3 ‘). We then witnessed a first period dominated by Liverpool, although the Reds had to be vigilant on opposing counterattacks. Just before half-time, the visitors found their way back to the net to lead from one goal to the break.
As the second act took off even stronger, the nets were shaking on each side in less than 5 minutes. First, the reigning champions doubled the stake thanks to Alexander-Arnold before seeing the men of Jose Mourinho reduce the score of a sumptuous long strike by Hojbjerg. A reduction of short duration, since the Scousers passed the 3th, 15 minutes later, thanks to Mane. In this way, Liverpool returned to success and the nets. 1-3 was the score at the final whistle.
