Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham LIVE: Score, Jordan Henderson cancels out Harry Kane's opener

LIVERPOOL 2-1 TOTTENHAM

75: James Milner is sent on to replace Georginio Wijnaldum for the closing stages.

LIVERPOOL 2-1 TOTTENHAM | SALAH

73: GOAL! VAR double checks the incident and there’s no overturning that decision. Mohamed Salah steps up and blasts it to Gazzaniga’s left. Not the greatest connection but enough to give Liverpool a precious lead.

71: Penalty to Liverpool! Serge Aurier kicks the back of Sadio Mane’s leg and the referee awards the penalty.

69: Great work from Andrew Robertson down the left to get in behind the Spurs defence but his cross is cleared for a corner. Mohamed Salah finds space from the corner but his volley is wide.

66: It’s all kicking off at the Emirates Stadium. Grant Xhaka is subbed off after a rather poor display and the Arsenal fans cheer. He reacts badly by ripping off his shirt and telling them to ‘f*** off’ before storming down the tunnel.

63: Tanguy Ndombele replaces Harry Winks. Mauricio Pochettino clearly trying to restore some order in the middle of the park. Trent is booked for a sloppy and fairly needless challenge on Harry Kane.

60: Just under half-hour left on the clock and Liverpool have gunning for this. Spurs can’t clear their lines or relieve the pressure on their tiring defence. Mohamed Salah goes close with an attempted volley before Roberto Firmino narrowly fails to connect with yet another fine Trent cross.

59: Close! Spurs fail to deal with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross and the ball drops kindly for Roberto Firmino. The Brazilian prods it towards goal and Gazzaniga ends up sitting on it!

56: Jordan Henderson has scored his first Premier League goal at Anfield since he netted against West Brom back in December 2015, 1414 days ago.

55: This could be a long 45 minutes for Spurs now. Liverpool are quicker, sharper and look more dangerous than ever.

LIVERPOOL 1-1 TOTTENHAM | HENDERSON

52: GOAL! Two minutes after Son blazes against the crossbar – Liverpool are level at Anfield.

The ball gets sent across to the back post and Jordan Henderson’s left-footed volley across the goalkeeper finds the back of the net. He celebrates wildly. Captain to the rescue!

51: Woodwork! That’s a massive chance. Will they live to regret it? Son races clear before taking the ball around the sprawling Alisson. He takes aim from an acute angle and smashes it against the crossbar.

48: Referee Anthony Taylor will do well to keep from being swayed by this Liverpool crowd. They are appealing for everything.

Paulo Gazzaniga starts the second half as he ended the first – with a good save. Andrew Robertson tees it up for Roberto Firmino, who nods straight at the goalkeeper.

LIVERPOOL 0-1 TOTTENHAM

45: And we’re back underway at Anfield. Tottenham didn’t have many answers to Liverpool’s sustained attacks in the first half – they’ll need to find a way to relieve the pressure for more than 30 seconds. No changes for either side.

LIVERPOOL 0-1 TOTTENHAM

HT: Nightmare start for the Reds with Harry Kane giving Tottenham the lead after just 47 seconds. Liverpool have been on top ever since forcing several good saves from Paulo Gazzaniga.

47: Liverpool have a penalty shout rejected as the ball strikes Davinson Sanchez on the top of the arm. Would have been a bit harsh given Jordan Henderson was blocking his line of vision.

45: Three minutes added time as Liverpool throw the kitchen sink at Tottenham.

44: Manchester United are 2-0 up against Norwich. However, they’ve just missed their second penalty of the afternoon. Tim Krul saved from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

41: Danger! Liverpool have themselves a free-kick JUST outside the penalty area in a central position. It’s a six-man wall for Spurs as Mohamed Salah stands over the ball… BLOCKED! Trent Alexander-Arnold took it instead and blasts it straight into the Spurs players.

37: Booked! Moussa Sissoko is shown the first yellow card of the afternoon having loathes cool. The midfielder stopped Andrew Robertson from taking a quick free-kick and then shoves him for good measure.

A second booking arrives moments later as Danny Rose catches the ball and Jordan Henderson with an aggressive challenge.

34: Just to keep you in the loop, Manchester United are 2-0 up against Norwich and that includes a missed penalty from Marcus Rashford. Meanwhile, Arsenal are 2-1 ahead against Crystal Palace. The Eagles equalised from the penalty spot after VAR overturned the referee’s original decision.

31: It’s backs to the wall for Tottenham now, Liverpool have been utterly relentless. Virgil Van Dijk’s header is turned over by Gazzaniga before Alexander-Arnold’s effort from distance is also stopped well.

Trent then serves it on a plate for Sadio Mane, who knocks his header wide from point-blank range.

28: Save! Two big stops from Paulo Gazzaniga as he pushes Mohamed Salah’s shot away and then gets up quickly to block the rebound from Roberto Firmino!

25: Chance! Well that could have made things interesting. Spurs counter with speed and purpose as Christian Eriksen finds Harry Kane on the opposite flank. He plays it across goal first time and Dele Alli is inches away from connecting.

Eriksen has a second but at the cherry but drags his effort just wide.

22: Corner to Liverpool. Spurs have dropped deeper into their own territory as the Reds turn up the heat. Trent crosses to the near post where Sadio Mane arrives to glance it high and wide.

19: We have a pause in play with Serge Aurier down. He looks in a considerable amount of pain and it looks like his own team-mate Toby Alderweireld did the damage. Quick squirt of water and he’s back up and running.

18: They’ve woken up! Dele Alli gifts Liverpool possession around the halfway line and the Reds don’t need a second invitation to attack. The diagonal ball is aimed at Mohamed Salah but Jordan Henderson overcooks it.

15: Nice play from the hosts. Andrew Robertson and Sadio Mane exchange a quick one-two before the full-back does Christian Eriksen for pace. The cross was far too close to Gazzaniga.

11: Liverpool are yet to register a shot. Just passing and switching it from left to right trying to force Tottenham out of position. Could have to be a patient afternoon for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

8: Harry Kane is the third opposition player to score inside 60 seconds at Anfield in a Premier League game, after Matt Elliott for Leicester in August 1997 and Olivier Dacourt for Everton in April 1999.

5: Liverpool look a bit bemused at the moment. They’re struggling to build any momentum in response to Harry Kane’s opener. Plenty of possession mind.

3: So It appears that Spurs are looking to beat Leicester’s record from Friday evening. Good luck, lads…

LIVERPOOL 0-1 TOTTENHAM | KANE

1: GOAL! Well that wasn’t in the script! Harry Kane has given Tottenham the lead inside a minute – 47 seconds to be precise.

Son spins away from Jordan Henderson and Dejan Lovren deflects his effort against the woodwork. But captain Kane is in the perfect place to stoop and guide his header beyond Alisson.

LIVERPOOL 0-0 TOTTENHAM

1: The players stroll out of the tunnel, Roy Kane delivers his usual backhanded compliment and YNWA rings around Anfield. We’re underway folks. More mayhem like last season or a more comfortable afternoon like the Champions League final? We’re about to find out.

Quartet…

16:25: Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen are all starting a Premier League game together for just the fourth time in 2019, last doing so in a 2-0 win against Crystal Palace in April.

Ten-minute klaxon!

16:20: Just under ten minutes until we’re underway at Anfield. Mauricio Pochettino has just done his interview with the fella from Sky Sports and laughed when asked why he’s made four changes.

“Seven years in England and always the same silly question,” the Spurs boss said while chuckling.

Elsewhere…

16:15: As previously mentioned, there’s an unexpected top-six clash between Arsenal and Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.

We also have a relegation six-pointer between Norwich and Manchester United. I’ll keep you updated with how those unfold.

High praise indeed

16:10: Jurgen Klopp isn’t buying into the Spurs crisis conversation. The German tactician has spoken to Sky Sports and here’s what he had to say.

“You have a look at the line-up, tell me 10 better sides in a row,” Klopp said. “Up front, Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eriksen and Son, Winks and Sissoko in midfield and there’s quality in defence too. That’s what we have to prepare for.

“These three guys in midfield, if they get the support from our two wings and Bobby, it could be a wall where you have to go over or something. Then we are pretty solid, we have to be against them.

“Where we are strong, they try to turn around like bringing Son in a very offensive position on the left when Trent goes, for instance.”

Twitter reaction

Thomas: I’d love to be proven wrong but the team Pochettino chose today is getting him sacked in the morning. AVB like stubbornness.

Dean: That line-up has made me stay at the gym, over-train and probably get injured just so I don’t watch it. Do you think I’ll be able to Sue Mauricio Pochettino for this or shall I go directly to Tottenham?

Steve: Coward Mauricio Pochettino is playing Christian Eriksen after our best performance of the season had him nowhere to be seen?!

Let me know if you’re successful with that, Dean.

Have a little patience…

16:00: Am I quoting a line from Take That hit Patience? Yep. And I’m not ashamed one little bit.

Dejan Lovren admits he struggles to be patient when he is left out of the team but is determined to rise to the challenge.

The Croatia international, a World Cup runner-up in 2018, has made just three 90-minute appearances so far this season across the Champions League, Premier League and Carabao Cup.

“That is part of the job, to work hard behind the scenes even if you don’t get a chance,” he said. “I always believed in myself and giving 100 per cent on the training ground. The boss sees it and in the end it is his decision who plays or not. I am a fighter.

“The key point is to be patient. There are players who are patient and there are players who are not patient…I am struggling. It is part of the game and you need to accept it.”

It’s all over

15:55: That was predictable. Wolves and Newcastle share the points at St James’ Park. Jamaal Lascelles opened the scoring but Jonny levelled and Sean Longstaff was sent off with ten minutes remaining.

Nuno’s side are dealing extremely well with Europa League commitments in my opinion.

Harry Kane to Manchester United

15:50: Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has brushed off Roy Keane’s claims that Manchester United should sign Harry Kane.

Thought that was a bit cheeky from Roy I must admit. Wouldn’t say that to his face mind…

Keane, working as a pundit on Sky Sports, said it would be “easy” for United to bring the striker to Old Trafford in a bid to cure their problems in front of goal.

“I heard the comment,” Pochettino said. “Of course I respect him and admired him when he was a player.

“Whenever I listen to him he is very clinical in his comments. Of course he loves good players and Harry Kane is a fantastic player. We more than agree Harry Kane deserves everything.”

Twitter reaction

Nick: This is completely insane. Davies and Tanguy were exceptional on Tuesday and Toby and Dav doesn’t work. We’re going to get hammered. Idiotic selection.

Danny: Will people chill out FFS. Have the last four years not taught you that Klopp eases players in gradually. Keita will start on Wednesday but, whether you like it or not, he was never going to start today. Have some patience. Klopp has surely earned your trust by now.

Chris: Can’t wait to be moaning about Lovren costing us points later. Gomez might be looking at getting out if he can’t get in the side ahead of him.

Team news – Tottenham

15:40: Mauricio Pochettino sees Jurgen Klopp’s three changes and raises him a fourth.

Jan Vertonghen, Tanguy Ndombele and Ben Davies drop to the bench with Erik Lamela absent completely.

Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld, Christian Eriksen and Harry Winks return to the starting XI.

Team news – Liverpool

15:35: Jurgen Klopp makes three changes from the side that battered Genk on Wednesday.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is back from illness, which sees James Milner drop to the bench. Elsewhere Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum come back into midfield.

Naby Keita and surprisingly Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drop to the bench. Apparently two long-range beauties aren’t enough to keep you in the starting XI these days. Joel Matip misses out all together again with a knee problem.

The sides – Salah starts

15:30: FPL fans and Liverpool supporters can relax – Mohamed Salah starts for Jurgen Klopp’s side this afternoon.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Subs: Adrian, Gomez, Keita, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Origi.

Tottenham XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Alli, Erikson, Son, Kane.

Subs: Austin, Vertonghen, Dier, Lo Celso, Moura, Ndombele, Davies.

Where’s Mo?

15:28: We’ve got unconfirmed reports that Mohamed Salah is absent with an injury today. The Egyptian king played the full 90 against Genk midweek but is said to have missed training on Friday.

We’ll find out if he starts in just a few moments.

What’s on?

15:25: We’ve got a bumper Sunday of Premier League action today. Wolves are trailing 1-0 to Newcastle as we speak. I’ll let you know if anything changes.

Then, we have three 4:30pm kicks offs including the one at Anfield, Arsenal vs Crystal Palace and Norwich vs Manchester United.

Afternoon…

15:20: Hello everyone and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Premier League.

I was going to say that Liverpool were welcoming a rejuvenated Tottenham to Anfield – but I’m not so sure knocking five past Red Star Belgrade really counts.

Mauricio Pochettino was under serious pressure before the midweek win following a string of results which included a 7-2 humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich, a 3-0 loss at Brighton and a fortunate 1-1 draw at home to bottom side Watford.

However, the fact remains that Spurs have won just three of their first nine games in the Premier League and they face a tough task against Liverpool, who followed an insipid draw at Manchester United with their own impressive Champions League win away at Genk.
