TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 2-1 LIVERPOOL: Liverpool had two players sent off during their Premier League trip to Tottenham, but it needed a late own goal to give Spurs victory
Liverpool pair Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota were both sent off in a dramatic game in against Tottenham before a stoppage-time own goal from Joel Matip gave Spurs a dramatic victory.
Both of these teams had created and scored plenty in their first six league games, and that showed in the early goings. Spurs keeper Vicario kept his team level with an important double-save, while Postecoglou's team threatened with the speed of their breaks. 1. Liverpool's red card woes continue Jones' red card was the third shown to a Liverpool player in seven Premier League games, but one of those was later rescinded. Alexis Mac Allister avoided a ban after his dismissal against Bournemouth, and some Reds fans may feel Jones deserves a similar reprieve.
There were some nervy moments for the Italian on his Premier League debut against Brentford, but he appears to have put those behind him. With the scores level at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Italian came up big to deny first Cody Gakpo and then Andy Robertson. The last player to consistently fill that role for Spurs was Christian Eriksen. With his eye-of-the-needle through-ball in the lead-up to Spurs' opener, Maddison evoked the best of the Danish playmaker - not for the first time.
