Tottenham make late push for a comeback with two goals in 5 minutes but Liverpool prevail
Tottenham staged a late rally against Liverpool, scoring twice in the final 20 minutes to apply pressure on the Reds, although they ultimately fell short in a 4-2 defeat.
Liverpool dominated the majority of the game, with Salah giving them the lead inside 15 minutes, and Robertson doubled that lead right before half-time.
They kicked off the second half just as strongly, with two quick goals. Cody Gakpo made it 3-0 with a lovely header in the 50th minute, before Harvey Elliott scored a stunner from outside the box to make it 4-0.
However, the changes from Ange made a difference. Richarlison came on and was a menace for the Liverpool defence since. He found the back of the net in the 72nd minute and then turned provider 5 minutes later.
Oliver Skipp received the pass on the edge of the box and picks him out with a great pass.
The 28-year-old then showed brilliant awareness to lay it for Son who fired the ball into the back of the net to narrow the deficit.
