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.

Tottenham Hotspur ended Saturday’s breathless 2–1 defeat at home to Liverpool with nine players and plenty of regrets.

Liverpool's 1-2 victory, however, came at a cost as the Reds saw three players leave the field against Spurs due to injuries.

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

All three of Liverpool's costly close-season signings combined as Ekitike picked out Florian Wirtz and he slipped a perfectly weighted pass to Isak, who timed his run to drill a clinical finish past Guglielmo Vicario from 10 yards. Ekitike doubled Liverpool's lead in the 66th minute.

Liverpool forward Alexander Isak could be facing a lengthy spell on the sideline after suffering an injury in his team's Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
