(The Guardian) 1 min: Tottenham attack the Kop end in the first half but it’s Liverpool who enjoy the first sortie forward. Emerson Royal wins the ball for Spurs in the Spurs left-back position and passes to Rodrigo Bentancur, who immediately loses it. The ball breaks to Sadio Mane, who completely misses the ball with an attempted scissor-kick.

(The Guardian) 5 min: Jordan Henderson overhits a pass to Trent Alexander-Arnold near the right touchline and sends the ball out of play for a Spurs throw-in halfway inside their own half.

(The Guardian) 7 min: Tottenham attack on the break but Ibrahima Konate disrupts Son’s rhythm, without quite winning the ball. The ball is spread wide to Kane, whose cross into the penalty area towards Son from the right is intercepted by Alisson, who was quick of his line to parry the ball clear.
