Liverpool recover from Harry Kane goal inside 47 seconds to beat Tottenham

Spurs got off to a dream start though, with Harry Kane’s header on the rebound giving them the lead inside the first minute.

The hosts peppered their opponents’ goal but Paolo Gazzaniga was equal to efforts from Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold while Sadio Mane missed a glorious chance.

After the break, Heung-min Son missed an open goal – hitting the bar with a left-footed effort after rounding Reds keeper Alisson Becker.

Jordan Henderson’s well-taken finish levelled the game moments later as the Reds, roared on by their fans, searched for a winner.

And that winner came from forward Mohamed Salah, who powerfully struck home a penalty after Mane was fouled by Serge Aurier.

Following their draw at Manchester United last weekend and title rivals Manchester City’s easy win over Aston Villa on Saturday, the pressure was on Jurgen Klopp’s men who went into the game just three points clear at the top.

Many wrote off Spurs in the lead-up but they silenced Anfield when Kane opened the scoring after just 47 seconds.

Son’s shot from just outside the box struck the post after taking a deflection off Dejan Lovren – the England striker was the quickest to react and scored on the rebound with a stooping header.

But if there’s a time to fall behind in a big game it’s minute one, and Liverpool responded well. Gazzaniga made an excellent double save to deny Salah and Roberto Firmino on 20 minutes.
