Liverpool 4 – 3 Spurs (30^th April 2023)

Spurs’ latest match against Liverpool was back in April 2023 at Anfield in what was an extraordinary match.

Ahead of the game, Tottenham sat in 5^th place with 54 points to their name. 6 points separated the Lilywhites from a top-four spot, and they were ahead of Aston Villa in 6^th place on goal difference. They were also 1 point ahead of the Reds and 5 ahead of Brighton & Hove Albion in 8^th place.

In their most recent match before this one, Tottenham played out a 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jadon Sancho (7’) and Marcus Rashford (44’) gave United a 2-goal lead going to the half-time break. Spurs showed great spirit in the second half by making a comeback to secure a draw through goals from January signing Pedro Porro (56’) and South Korea international Heung-Min Son (79’).

Meanwhile, Liverpool sat in 7^th place with 53 points and just a point behind the Lilywhites with a game in hand. Jürgen Klopp’s side were also only 7 points off the top four. The Reds knew that a victory over their North London counterparts at Anfield would see them leapfrog Spurs in the Premier League table.

Liverpool came into this game off the back of a third successive victory after beating David Moyes’ West Ham United side 2-1 at the London Stadium. Dutch forward, Cody Gakpo equalised (18’) for the Reds after a Lucas Paqueta goal for the Hammers (12’). Joël Matip’s (67’) second-half goal turned out to be the winner.

The match did not get off to the best of starts for those of a Tottenham Hotspur persuasion. Curtis Jones gave Liverpool the early lead when his close-range effort round the back of the net following a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross (3’).

Spurs did not have any time to settle after this setback, with the Reds making it 2-0 just a few moments later. Colombian forward Luis Díaz scored when he found the top right corner from very close range after Cody Gakpo found him with a nice pass (5’).

It was 3-0 after 15 minutes had elapsed when Mo Salah scored from a penalty kick that was won by Gakpo (15’).

Harry Kane did manage to score just before the half-time interval when he found the back of the net with a clinical finish following a fantastic Ivan Perisic cross into the box (40’).

It was almost 3-2 a few moments later when Swedish forward Dejan Kulusevski looked to have found the bottom right corner, only for Liverpool’s Brazilian Goalkeeper Alisson Becker to make a fantastic save at close range (41’).

It was a much more even match in the second half, and the Spurs’ comeback looked to be very much a possibility with just over ten minutes to go when Heung-Min Son found the net after receiving the ball via a Cristian Romero through ball (77’). 3-2.

Denmark’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg then went close a couple of minutes later, with his effort going just wide of the post following a Pedro Porro cross (79’).

Then, drama. Richarlison was found in the box by Son, with the Brazilian forward finding the back of the net with a powerful header from close range to complete the comeback (90+3’).

Unfortunately, then came heartbreak. Following an individual error, Diogo Jota managed to steal the ball before successfully finding the bottom right corner of Fraser Forster’s net (90+4’).

It ended in a 4-3 win to Liverpool at Anfield in what was a very entertaining match from minute one.

Liverpool dominated possession with 67.6% possession in comparison to Tottenham’s 32.4%. It was Spurs with more shots on target with 7, with the Reds having 4.
