Kulu is doing his best, but when Maddison is neutralised and Son is nowhere then Spurs can’t create even a whisper of a threat.
Rachel T, Lincoln
Gomez has his critics, he’s been excellent today. That goal started from his tackle on Maddison and a lovely pass afterwards.
Martin James, Northumberland
Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool
James Maddison picks out Son Heung-min in the box but the Spurs captain, under pressure from Trent Alexander-Arnold, loses balance and shoots into the outside of the net.

Tottenham Hotspur have conceded six goals in the last 15 minutes of the first half, only Ipswich Town and Southampton have conceded more in the Premier League this season.

Ange Postecoglou can have no complaints. They have been knocking on the door since the first.
Alexis Mac Allister gambles, he hopes and anticipates that the ball drops for him and it does.
Mac Allister cannot miss and he doesn't.
If they want to, they can finish this game before half-time - it is there for them.

That's Alexis Mac Allister's first Premier League goal of the season.

It's brilliant from Mac Allister, he's the midfielder who reacts. It's brilliant from Liverpool and a great ball in from Robertson. Could Forster come out sooner?

Andy Robertson clips in a cross which Dominik Szoboszlai heads into the air and Alexis Mac Allister heads the loose ball over the advancing Fraser Forster being seeing the ball drop into the top corner.

Liverpool are too good. Sometimes you have to hold your hands up when you're playing against a side far superior to you and that's what Liverpool are.

Spurs are irritated because Dejan Kulusevksi's quick free-kick which was going to send Son Heung-min through one on one isn't allowed.
Tottenham 0-1 Liverpool
Tottenham have conceded the opening goal in 14 different home games in the Premier League in 2024; the joint-most ever by a team within a calendar year in the competition (alongside Crystal Palace in 2017, Ipswich and Spurs in 1994).

I think it's more internet fans who might think like that rather than proper matchgoers.

Genuinely surprised more Spurs fans didn't celebrate that Liverpool opener. Anyone but Arsenal, eh?

This is turning into an attack v defence training session for Liverpool.

Image source, ReutersThis has all the makings of a very tough day for Spurs. Liverpool are all over them in possession so they are struggling to get anything going in attack.
Liverpool played their last game 24 hours before an unchanged Spurs - and having rested many of their key players. It certainly shows so far.

Crosses like that from TAA are essentially impossible to defend. The bend on it defeats the central defenders. The only way you can stop it is to be stood in the wrong position! Provided you could get back quick enough to even be in the wrong place. They’re evil! Or not. Depending on your allegiances. As a neutral, you can appreciate its beauty.

A smattering of Spurs supporters release their black balloons in protest of chairman Daniel Levy in the 24th minute.
They read "Levy Out" or "Enic Out", the latter being the holding company used by the Levy to run this club.
He has been at the club for 24 years, hence the timing, but it wasn't the most widespread or visible protest inside the stadium.
Those involved sat there will be more to come in the coming weeks if their views aren't listened to.
But Levy said at the recent Fan Forum that he has "thick skin" and ignores the increasing criticism he gets.

Dominik Szoboszlai flagged offside as he races onto a long Alisson boot down the field.

Andy Robertson stands over a free-kick for Liverpool. He puts it in but it's headed away. Well sort of headed out. Liverpool get the ball back into the mixer and Spurs defenders look panicked. A few attempts to hack it clear but crosses keep coming.

Liverpool are relentless. As soon as Alisson gets the ball, they look to break and get the ball with their front men.

Tottenham won this exact fixture 2-1 last season, last winning consecutive home league games against Liverpool between 2008 and 2012 (a run of five).
Liverpool have lost just two of their last 23 Premier League games against Tottenham (W15 D6) and have scored at least once in each of their last 17 against Spurs.
Tottenham won this exact fixture 2-1 last season thanks to a 90th minute Joel Matip own goal. Indeed, this fixture has seen more 90th minute winning goals than any other in Premier League history (6).
Tottenham have lost nine of their last 11 Premier League games against sides starting the day top of the table, with both exceptions coming away against Manchester City (2-2 in August 2019, 3-2 in February 2022). They’ve lost all five home games in this run.
Tottenham have kept just one clean sheet in their last 23 Premier League home games, a 4-0 win against Everton earlier this season. They’re winless in their last three at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (D1 L2), last having a longer run without a home win in November/December 2013 (4).
Spurs have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of games than any other side in the Premier League this season (9), with five of those coming in their last two games.
Having conceded just three goals in their first eight Premier League games this season, Liverpool have now conceded 10 in their last seven. Their last two games have been drawn 3-3 with Newcastle and 2-2 with Fulham, with the Reds last drawing three straight league games in the same season back in October 2015.
Victory for Liverpool will see them top of the Premier League table at Christmas for the first time since 2020-21. However, the Reds have only won the title in one of the last seven top-flight campaigns in which they’ve been top at Christmas, doing so in 2019-20.
Son Heung-min’s two assists against Southampton last time out took his total in the Premier League to 68 – the joint-most of any Tottenham player in the competition’s history (level with Darren Anderton).
Mohamed Salah has been involved in 22 of Liverpool’s 31 Premier League goals this season (71%), by far the highest share of any player for a side so far this term. He has 13 goals and nine assists, and could become the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures for both before Christmas in a single campaign.
