Roberto Firmino headed a 90th-minute winner as champions Liverpool edged out title challengers Tottenham to climb top of the Premier League with a 2-1 victory at Anfield.
Firmino escaped the clutches of Toby Alderweireld in the final minute of normal time to divert Andy Robertson’s pin-point corner into the top corner with a bullet header that left Hugo Lloris with no chance.
The dramatic finale came just as Spurs looked to have secured a rare point at Anfield, with Heung-Min Son’s clinical strike on the counter cancelling out Mohamed Salah’s deflected opener in the first half.
Spurs had opportunities to strengthen their growing title credentials and end Liverpool’s formidable home league record – which now reads 66 games unbeaten – but Steven Bergwijn hit the post and Harry Kane squandered a gilt-edged heading opportunity in the second half as their Anfield woes continued.
