Reds suffer late heartbreak in London as Spurs take all three points

Guglielmo Vicario 7/10

Produced good saves to deny Cody Gakpo and then Andy Robertson in the first half. Couldn't do much when Gakpo eventually did score. Getty

Pedro Porro 8/10

Some important defensive contributions and always a threat going forwards. Inviting late cross led to Matip's own goal. AP

Micky van de Ven 6/10

Lost Gakpo for Liverpool's goal and was guilty of lapses. His pace helped him with a few recovery challenges. Getty

Cristian Romero 7/10

Helped his side make their numerical advantage count as he pushed up the pitch in the second half. PA

Destiny Udogie 7/10

Had a good game and coped relatively well with Salah. Fouled twice by Jota who was dismissed. EPA

Pape Matar Sarr 6/10

Energy and defensive work on point but still has room to improve with the ball. AP

Yves Bissouma 7/10

Continued good form here with another impressive display. Helped his side move the ball quickly when against 10 and then nine men. Reuters

Dejan Kulusevski 6/10

Didn't get much change out of Robertson but kept the Liverpool left back busy all night. PA

James Maddison 7/10

The in-form midfielder split open the Liverpool defence in the build-up to Son's goal and went close himself in the second half. Getty

Richarlison 8/10

Although he likes to play through the middle many feel he's at his best from the left and he did plenty of damage from that position here. Got an assist and also hit the woodwork. AP

Son Heung-Min 8/10

Scored again with a cool finish and had another chalked off for offside. Looks like he'll score plenty playing centre-forward in this team. EPA

Manor Solomon 7/10

Tottenham Subs. Solomon (Son, 69'): Looked lively down the left as Spurs chased a winner.

Ben Davies 6/10

Davies (Udogie, 83'). Brought on to shore things up late on. Getty. Skipp (Sarr, 83'): N/A; Hojbjerg (Bissouma, 90'): N/A; Véliz (Maddison, 90'): N/A.

Had a hand in Gakpo's goal and stood firm for his team after the red cards. AP

Andrew Robertson 6/10

Coped well with Kulusevski but might have stopped the late cross that led to the winner. Getty

Dominik Szoboszlai 6/10

Quality on the ball is clear to see but had to do far more defending than he is accustomed to after early red card. Reuters

Alexis Mac Allister 5/10

Form seems to have dipped after a bright start although this was a difficult day all round for the out-numbered Reds. Getty

Curtis Jones 3/10

Sent off for an X-rated tackle on Bissouma. Left his side in the lurch. Getty

Tottenham Hotspur celebrated a thrilling 2-1 stoppage-time victory as Joel Matip’s late own goal saw nine-man Liverpool slip to defeat Saturday.

The Reds, who had Curtis Jones and substitute Diogo Jota sent off, were seconds away from sealing a battling point when Matip turned Pedro Porro's cross into his own net.

It was the second home game in a row where Spurs won in time added on, after their dramatic triumph over Sheffield United.

Jones saw a yellow card upgraded to a red by the VAR for a nasty challenge on Yves Bissouma midway through the first half but minutes later Liverpool had the ball in the net. Luis Diaz had finished coolly only for the VAR to incorrectly rule it out for offside.

The Reds' luck continued to deteriorate as Richarlison set up Son to open the scoring. Cody Gakpo levelled before half time but Jota was dismissed for two bookings after the break and Liverpool had it all to do.

They looked like they might hang on until Porro forced Matip's error to spark jubilant scenes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

"I never saw a game like this with the most unfair circumstances, crazy decisions," said Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

"The first red card, Curtis steps on the ball and goes over. Not a bad tackle. It looks different in slow motion. [For Diogo Jota] first yellow was not a yellow. Then he gets a second and to defend with eight outfield players is tricky."

His Spurs counterpart, Ange Postecoglou, added: "We're still a team in its infancy in terms of the way we want to play, the age and experience of the group. The support behind us at home the last two games had been unbelievable, the energy they've given the lads. We're going to need that going forward, we'll have more challenges and particularly having the support behind us at home will make a big difference."
