The Reds started the first half brilliantly. After less than two minutes of play, Curtis Jones shot his team in front from a tight angle.

Less than 180 seconds later, Luis Diaz increased with a volley after a nice run by Cody Gakpo. Mo Salah then made it 3-0 with a penalty in the 15th minute after Gakpo was knocked down by Spurs defender Cristian Romero.

After that, however, the home side only managed the lead and let the guests come into play. The back team dropped out several times and invited Harry Kane and Co. to counterattack.

Shortly before the break it was the England international who hammered in a cross from Ivan Perisic from very close range (39′). Heu-Ming Son and Dejan Kulusevski could have made it 2:3, but the post (Son) got in the way once and Allison (Kulusevski) made a strong save once.

After the change of sides, Son failed again on the beams. As a result, the game rippled along before the South Korean used a long ball from Romero and made the connection (77th).

The visitors then pressed for an equaliser, claiming a penalty in the 85th minute when Richarlison went down after a light grab in the penalty area. However, referee Paul Tierney decided to continue playing.

Six minutes later, the Brazilian shot the supposed equalizer. But as a direct countermove, Diogo Jota saved his team the three points.

Aside from the crazy course of the game, a protest from Liverpool fans caused a stir. At the beginning of the second half, a plane flew over the stadium and addressed clear words to the owners.

“LFC – Sox – Penguins – Same Problems. FSG out!” read the banner.

The Reds fans are once again venting their displeasure with the club’s management, which openly spoke about the entry of new investors spoke.

However, many fans would like an outright sale, vexed by the austerity policies of Reds owner John W. Henry.
