Matip’s 96th minute own goal condemned Liverpool to a 2-1 loss after red cards for Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota.
TOTTENHAM SNATCHED A dramatic 2-1 win against nine-man Liverpool as Joel Matip’s last-gasp own-goal ended the Reds’ resistance after Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota were sent off.
After a dismal run of one win in their previous 23 meetings with Liverpool in all competitions, Tottenham could finally savour a rare success against the Anfield outfit. Liverpool, beaten for the first time in nine games in all competitions, are one point behind Tottenham in fourth place.For Postecoglou, it was an especially sweet success after he grew up in Australia idolising legendary Liverpool boss Bill Shankly as a childhood fan of the Reds’ great 1970s teams.
Postecoglou’s latest memorable result was kick-started in the 26th minute when Jones’ raised boot caught Yves Bissouma on the ankle. Diaz stretched to poke Salah’s cross just wide from a good position as Liverpool threatened to complete their fightback.
