Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League clash as Jota scores late winner

Liverpool 4-3 Tottenham: Diogo Jota’s late goal earns dramatic victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side

Spurs caretaker Mason "learned a lot" from Conte and Stellini

What a game. Tottenham once more displayed the fortitude that saw them comeback against Manchester United in their last outing but this time it wasn’t enough.

From the outset things looked bad for Ryan Mason’s side as Liverpool scored twice in the opening five minutes as Curtis Jones and the returning Luis Diaz fired home from close range. A shocking tackle from Cristian Romero then set up Mo Salah to score from the penalty spot and Spurs were trailing by three after quarter of an hour.

It took them another 20 minutes to grow into the game but the ended the half in fine fashion with Harry Kane volleying home Son Heung-min’s cross to pull one back and send the visitors into the break with some belief. The second half saw Spurs utilise the counter-attack effectively but it was a long ball that fed Son into the penalty area where he slotted a low effort past Alisson.

But the game was decided from the bench. Richarlison came on for Spurs and found the equaliser in stoppage time only for Diogo Jota to pounce on Lucas Moura’s loose backpass to win the game just over a minute later.

Liverpool vs Tottenham

Hello and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of this afternoon’s Premier League clash between Liverpool and Tottenham. This will be a intriguing and interesting encounter that will have ramifications on the battle for the European places.

Both teams are competing to finish at least fifth in the table (though they’ll harbour hopes of sneaking into the top four). Spurs currently occupy that position but are only one point ahead of the Reds who also have a game in hand on Ryan Mason’s men.

After a poor run of form following the sacking of Antonio Conte, Tottenham responded well to Mason’s temporary leadership and fought back to draw 2-2 with Manchester United last time out.

Liverpool meanwhile are on a three game winning run and look to finally be settling into a nice rhythm with their new signings settled in the team. Diogo Jota’s return to goalscoring form is a welcome relief and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping to end this campaign well in order to kick on next year.

We’ll have all the team news, updates and action throughout the afternoon so stick with us.
