Dominik Szoboszlai’s free-kick was the difference between the sides as Liverpool claimed a 1-0 halftime lead against Tottenham.

Under-fire Spurs boss Igor Tudor made a surprise switch to a 4-4-2 formation and the relegation-threatened visitors started brightly at Anfield

However, they fell behind when dead-ball specialist Szoboszlai swung a trademark effort over the defensive wall, although recalled Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario should have done much better

Spurs are only outside of the relegation zone on goal difference and they were almost level on the stroke of the interval, with Alisson making a smart stop to deny fellow Brazil international Richarlison from a left-wing corner.

Richarlison silences Kop!

A huge goal for Tottenham’s survival bid! Liverpool have been sleepwalking towards this, letting the second half drift. The hosts fail to deal with a long ball, Tel barrels into the box and Richarlison slots him in front of the Kop!

Szoboszlai does it again!

Liverpool’s free-kick specialist opens the scoring to extinguish a bright Tottenham start. However, Spurs keeper Vicario has to do much better as he pats a shot that isn’t exactly in the corner into his net.
