FT: Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool

Liverpool have bounced back in the league to beat Tottenham 2-1 in London.

Klopp's side are deserved winners.

Liverpool win a free in the Spurs half...

Alisson thumps Moura's flick away.

Liverpool manage to clear the Spurs corner. 

Spurs have a corner...

What a chance!

Kane sees another header go wide at the back stick. 

Liverpool are just holding on now. 

Kulusevski flies past Jones and clips it into the box but it just misses Davies. The Swede is not happy with that one.

Doherty and Alisson clash in the air. Alisson is down; the Irishman is up. Spurs fans are not pleased with Alisson, who is now back up on his feet.

NUNEZ!

The Uruguayan smashes his left-footed effort off the top of the bar from 14 yards. That could have been game over. As Spurs go for it, Liverpool are able to find gaps in behind. 

Liverpool haven't won any of their away games this season. They have just under 10 mins left in this one. 

LENGLET!

Spurs won't get a better chance but the Frenchman heads Perisic's corner over the bar.

Kulu makes the difference

He was only on the pitch a matter of seconds and Kulusevski picked out Kane to give Spurs a chance.

Kane goes down looking for a penalty. It's not a penalty. Kane may have even caught Konate in the tussle. 1-2

Liverpool changes

And there's the confirmation of those changes.

Spurs have the momentum now. They have 20 minutes to come back. Liverpool are about to make a couple of changes.

Conte is going mad on the touchline and slaps a ball out of Pep Lijnders' hand. He duly picks up a yellow!

Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool

It's that man again.

GOAL!

KANE!

This time he does it!

Kulusevski plays Kane in and it's a brilliant finish beyond Alisson.

Game on!

KANE!

It's a super delivery from Perisic on the left but Kane's header goes just wide.

Liverpool would move to within seven points of Spurs with a win today. Spurs would move 13 ahead of the Reds if they can come back here. It's a big one for Liverpool, who are happy to keep possession and keep it away from Spurs.

Thiago receives it before opening his body up but his effort from 25 yards goes left and wide. Liverpool lead 2-0.

Emerson Royal pulls Nunez down. Liverpool have a free. That's poor from the former Barcelona player. Liverpool have possession again.

Spurs are on top now. It's very open and they need a goal sharpish.

Nunez finds space and attacks it on the edge of the box but his shot is a low one and easy for Lloris.

Alisson almost loses it to Kane as he goes to play it out. It could have easily led to a Spurs goal. Quite unlike Alisson. 

We have a game on our hands!

Spurs have shifted their mindset and are going for it with crosses and direct play. 0-2

Dier whips it in from the right. It looks like it's going in but Alisson manages to tip it over. Perisic's corner is poor, not for the first time today.

Perisic rattles the bar!

Spurs have started well in this second half.

I have no changes to report at half-time.

Tottenham find themselves 2-0 down and need to massively improve if they're to get back into this one.

If you're only joining us, Liverpool lead 2-0. 

And we're underway for the second half!

Liverpool lead

It's been quite straightforward for Klopp's men so far.

HT: Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool

Liverpool are in cruise control in London. 

Salah has scored a first-half brace.

The corner falls to Elliott. He hits his second shot in 60 seconds but it goes out for another corner. Spurs clear. 

Elliott shoots from distance. It bounces just before Lloris manages to push it out for a corner. 

Robertson crosses from the left. Davies heads it away. 

That Dier mistake could really affect his World Cup hopes.

Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool

Spurs are all over the place.

Liverpool lead 2-0 before the break.

Dier makes a terrible mistake, by trying to head it back to Lloris, but totally misses it and it comes off his shoulder. Salah picks up the loose ball and dinks it over Lloris to score his and Liverpool's second.

Klopp will be the happier of the two managers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It remains 1-0 to the Reds.

Firmino has struggled for the away side. Elliott is drifting to find space. Salah has moved to the right. Liverpool are taking advantage of how passive Spurs have been in the first half.

It's poor defending from Alexander-Arnold, who pushes Sessegnon over again. Perisic whips in the free-kick but it's cleared away by Elliott.

Thiago hits it first time from the edge of the box. Dier is there to block it. 

Fouls:

Spurs - 6

Liverpool - 4

Salah makes it 0-1

Nunez with the assist. Salah with the goal.

Konate does brilliantly to rob the ball off Sessegnon, who slid across Alexander-Arnold in the box. Van Dijk is a fan of Konate and reckons he's better than Jamie Carragher was!

Liverpool are holding onto possession here. Perisic is playing up front with Kane for Spurs and there are two compact Spurs lines just keeping Liverpool in front of them. Spurs are happy to stand off Liverpool despite being 1-0 down.

Liverpool lead 1-0. And they certainly need three points but there's a long way to go.

Sessegnon goes down in the box. Alexander-Arnold gives him a nudge in the back. Spurs think it's a penalty but referee Andy Madley says no. They definitely have been given.

Perisic hits the post!

It's a super cross by Kane on the right but the Croatian's header deflects off Alisson and then comes off the post. 

Spurs have woken up!

Salah scores

He hadn't scored in his last three matches against Spurs but Salah gives Liverpool the lead.

Nunez takes a touch in the box, swivels and then passes to Salah. Salah slots home perfectly from just inside the box to give the away side the lead in London.

Pre-match, Trent Alexander-Arnold suggested something is missing at Liverpool.

"Clearly as a team something’s not going right, it’s not going as well as we want it to go. That’s something for everyone to think about, for everyone to address and make sure we put it right, especially next week against Spurs, top-four rivals."

Nunez cuts in on his right foot from the left and curls an effort just wide of Lloris's left-hand post. The former Benfica forward has started well on the left-hand side. 0-0

A win for Liverpool today would move them into 8th place. They are 10 points behind Spurs at this early stage of the season. 

Nunez smashes a volley towards the far top corner from the left but Lloris does well to stop the Uruguayan's effort.

A win for Spurs today will send them back into 3rd in the table.

Konate wins an early free for Liverpool.

We're underway!

Spurs are playing from right to left as we watch it. Both sides are playing in their traditional colours. 

Liverpool team

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho; Elliott, Thiago; Firmino; Salah, Nunez.

Spurs team

Tottenham: Lloris; Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Emerson Royal, Bentancur, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon; Perisic; Kane.

Captains Hugo Lloris and Virgil van Dijk lead their teams out onto the pitch.

The players are in the tunnel!

Spurs all set

Last time out, Spurs beat Bournemouth 3-2. This one could also produce goals, with so much attacking talent on display.

Liverpool good to go

Kickoff is just 15 minutes away!

Spurs vs Liverpool

Matches between Spurs and Liverpool have tended to be intense affairs over the past few recent seasons. Liverpool tend to dominate the ball in this one. Conte's Spurs will invite them to come forward and hit them on the counter, looking to get in behind Klopp's high-line in transition.

The last meeting between the sides was a 1-1 draw at Anfield in May. Son put Spurs in front before Colombian forward Luis Diaz scored the equaliser.

Villa beat United

Aston Villa have beaten Manchester United 3-1 at Villa Park. It's a winning start for new boss Unai Emery.
