Tottenham took the lead in the 36th minute through Son Heung-min after Curtis Jones’ red card in the 26th minute of the encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota who came in at half-time were sent off to give Spurs the edge over Liverpool at the fifth time of asking.
Just like in their last home game against Sheffield United a fortnight ago, Ange Postecoglou’s men triumphed thanks to a stunning stoppage-time goal.
However, in this encounter it was Liverpool’s defender that provided the key touch to turn home Pedro Porro’s cross to gift Spurs all three points.
