Liverpool moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League by beating Tottenham Hotspur tonight.
It was a top-of-the-table clash at Anfield and one that the Reds nicked with a last-minute winner from Roberto Firmino.
The Liverpool striker has had his critics this season, but he nodded home Andy Robertson’s corner to beat Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in the dying stages.
Spurs had their chances when the game was at 1-1, particularly with Steven Bergwijn and Harry Kane missing gilt-edged opportunities, and Firmino ultimately made them pay.
Here’s how Jamie Carragher reacted to the win on Twitter, referencing the Brazilian’s nickname.
Defeat aside, Spurs can hold their heads very high.
This performance proved that Jose Mourinho’s side are capable of matching Liverpool.
Yes, the Premier League champions dominated in terms of possession and final-third activity, but it was by design, Mourinho’s game plan.
The North Londoners are three points behind in the title race now, but write them off at your peril.
