VIDEO: After two red cards, Liverpool had a point within reach. Matip literally nailed all hopes on the cross!

Most experts were expecting a beautiful game that will be the highlight of the season. Unfortunately, because of the Liverpool players, nothing like that happened, but that doesn’t mean the fans didn’t enjoy it. Especially those who stayed until the last seconds of the game!

As expected, both teams went at each other without any hesitation and the spectators in the stadium witnessed beautiful football from the first minute, which unfortunately for the visiting team was greatly influenced by Curtis Jones, who earned a red card for stepping on the opponent’s shin.

But a few minutes later it was Liverpool who scored the first goal, namely Luis Díaz, who was offside and the Reds fans had to wait to celebrate the goal.

Their joy was spoiled shortly afterwards by the action started by James Maddison, who sent a pass forward to Richarlison, who passed in front of goal to Son Heung-Min and Tottenham went ahead.

By half-time, however, Liverpool managed to draw level even with ten men when Cody Gakpo took the opportunity to score, but he was injured at the turn and Diogo Jota came on for him after half-time.

Only, the Portuguese striker incomprehensibly sent the Reds’ hopes down the drain within two minutes, seeing two yellow cards for two tackles and walking off the pitch for good in the 69th minute, where he spent just under 24 minutes.

The Spurs players then attempted several shots from outside the box, but none of them had anywhere near the parameters of a goal. Like the others, the effort came to nothing. And just when it looked like the Reds players were going to make it, the home side’s action came and was finished off uncompromisingly by Joel Matip to take a great result away from his team.

It should be noted, however, that until then Liverpool managed to defend brilliantly even with 9 players on the pitch, with new signing Endo, a Japanese player, running tirelessly on the edge of the box and not missing a single possible cross.

In the end, however, it all came to naught as the three points remain in London. Tottenham thus pushed into second place a point behind leaders Manchester City, who lost to Wolves after 6 wins in a row.
