Liverpool find themselves in London again, this time at the glamorous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.

A nutty 99 minutes or so in North London saw two red cards, three goals, and a massive injury scare as Liverpool held off the 9-man Spurs to win 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday

Both teams playing like they don’t want to lose in the first 25 minutes. Ekitike is trying, but he’s not getting much support from the front line. Conor Bradley shows some good defending by just putting himself between the ball and Djed Spence, ultimately winning the Reds a free kick in their own area.

Hosts Tottenham saw Xavi Simons sent off in the 33rd minute after a VAR review for a challenge on Virgil van Dijk and Cristian Romero followed suit after receiving a second yellow card in stoppage time to leave the hosts with nine men.

Liverpool walked away with a 2-1 win over nine-man Tottenham on Saturday, but the result is an awkward one for the victors who were uncomfortable throughout and lost their expensive summer signing in the process.

Thomas Frank’s emotional return to the Gtech Community Stadium did not live up to its billing as Brentford held Tottenham to a thoroughly forgettable 0-0 draw on New Year’s Day. Frank led both teams out before kick-off and applauded the stadium where he spent seven years of his career, and received a warm response.

Our last match before the festive period takes place on Saturday as we take on Liverpool in another big test at Stadium.

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero has been charged by the Football Association (FA) following his red card in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against Liverpool. The Argentina international received his marching orders after picking up a second caution for kicking out at Reds defender Ibrahima Konate in a Premier League match that was full of contentious moments.

A six-game unbeaten run in all competitions has silenced talk of a crisis at Anfield and eased the pressure on head coach Arne Slot. They have taken 11 points of the last 15 on offer in the Premier League and strengthened their position in the Champions League with an impressive away win against Serie A side Inter.
