Liverpool and Tottenham played out a thrilling match at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. The Reds came into the game with a win over West Ham United in their previous fixture, while Spurs had lost to Manchester City in their last outing.

The opening stages of the game were evenly contested, with both sides creating chances but failing to find the back of the net. However, it was Liverpool who took the lead in the 27th minute when Sadio Mane scored from close range after a fine individual effort.

Tottenham looked to respond immediately and created some decent opportunities in the second half, with Son Heung-min and Dele Alli testing Liverpool's defence. But it was the Reds who doubled their advantage in the 66th minute through a well-taken goal from Mohamed Salah.

Despite the deficit, Spurs continued to press forward and create some chances, but they failed to convert them into goals. In the dying minutes, however, Harry Kane managed to get a header past Alisson Becker to make it a nervy finish for Liverpool.

In the end, Liverpool emerged victorious thanks to Salah's late winner, securing all three points and maintaining their top-four position. It was another impressive display from the Reds, who have been in great form recently.

Overall, it was a closely contested match between two strong teams, with both sides showing good attacking football. Liverpool will be hoping to continue their winning run and keep up their pursuit of Champions League qualification.
