Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC get this one started.
  • 5' Fabinho has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sadio Mane suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' The travelling Tottenham Hotspur FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' Serge Aurier is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Liverpool FC so far.
  • 25' Liverpool FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 26' What composure from Mohamed Salah! The Egypt international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 31' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 33' GOAL! Son Heungmin fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 38' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Liverpool FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 43' The 34-year-old Alisson Becker has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 48' Tottenham Hotspur FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 48.
  • 53' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 54' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Pierre Emile Hojbjerg.
  • 58' Lucas Moura is replacing Giovani Lo Celso for the Tottenham Hotspur FC side.
  • 63' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 63 minutes.
  • 68' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Liverpool FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 73' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 76' Reguilon has so much to prove this time. He replaces Steven Bergwijn on 76 minute.
  • 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dele Alli made 395 appearances and scored 23 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 86' Liverpool FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 87' Tottenham Hotspur FC ring the changes. Son Heungmin has done his job and it is now time for Dele Alli to step up.
  • 90' Roberto Firmino puts Liverpool FC on the lead.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
