There were loads of flashpoints in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in North London on Saturday, as big names were involved in red cards, goals, and potentially significant injuries — sometimes all at once.

Thomas Frank’s Spurs looked quite good early against their favored visitors, but Xavi Simons’ blades-up challenge on the calf of international teammate Virgil van Dijk sent Tottenham Hotspur down to 10 men with about an hour left in the match.

Arne Slot’s Reds built a 2-0 lead against the shorthanded Spurs through goals from Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, though the former was in massive pain after Micky van de Ven’s sliding challenge on his scoring left leg sent him into distress. The Swede needed to be helped off the pitch.

Richarlison then pulled Spurs back within one late and had a half-chance to equalize within a couple of minutes, leaving Slot and his men to grind out the three points. Spurs would then go down to nine men but still control the ball for much of nine minutes’ stoppage time.
