and hello wherever you're watching welcome to north london i'm derek ray and ready with his
tactics board alongside me is stuart robson my commentary partner i'm looking forward to bringing
you action from the premier league coming right up it is tottenham hotspur taking on liverpool yes
thanks as always derek we've got two good teams here so i'm anticipating a really good game the
atmosphere is electric inside the stadium before kickoff and hopefully we're not disappointed
lucas
this is the starting lineup for tottenham hotspur hugo laurie is the goalkeeper human son plays with
lucas on the flanks and the responsibility of leading the line today goes to harry kane
so the starting lineup for liverpool alison gets the node in goal trent alexander arnold
starts with andrew robertson in the wide defensive areas mohamed salah plays with sadio mane out wide
and rather than use a strike partnership they've gone with just the one player in attack
thank you enjoy the game
and the match is underway
thiago manet eras thiago
alexander arnold
and salah and he clears it out of harm's way and a tottenham hotspur free-kick coming up
fabian he takes a while misfiring without any shadow of a doubt
now they're moving the ball neatly enough just looking for that decisive pass
and liverpool might be able to cash in
henderson every pass hitting its target
diogo jota henderson committed challenge
son could be a chance to break here
okay but quick thinking defensively
salah
and this is diogo jota now the crossbar got in the way
well he couldn't strike it much better than that could he that was a great effort
only saw the situation developing it's a weighted pass
kane and a fantastic diving save
trying to pick out a teammate still not clear
and a fine tackle a liverpool free kick coming up
henderson it's with fabinho well sitting deep like this might be a dangerous game
crossing possibilities fabinho henderson
it's with fabinho the real defensive commitment there
emerson
now that pass easy on the eye
and they couldn't quite muster a real threat
well this won't hurt the liverpool cause corner awarded as they attempt to nudge in front
oh terrific save well you're absolutely right that's a top-class save just look how he reacts
he's driven in the corner just far too close to the goalkeeper
just failing to hit the target with his pass and it'll be a throw in
romero
oliver skip
still passing it around with authority a really good reflexes and danger reversing well this is a
big moment and don't these fans know it trying to deliver it accurately it hasn't come to very much
faith yeah well able to close down the shorts
tiago distributing shrewdly big opportunity
and the goal comes from who else but mo salah his side nudge in front
well here it is again and it's all about the pace on the counter attack
they were so quick to break out from their defensive positions and once he gets onto it
he just smashes it past the keeper with great technique what an emphatic finish that is
oh
back underway here how will spurs reply to that setback
we're taking into account all the stoppages three minutes to be added on
and mohamed salah now this is thiago perfectly positioned to take it away
half time then here in the english capital
well he often grabs the headlines and mo salah has been a big part of the story so far stewart
well derek after a slow start when he was tightly marked he got better and better as the first half
went on and he got his reward with that goal i'm looking forward to his second half display
well the ball boulder's moving again spurs trailing going into the second half
can they summon the right response
salah you'll be hard-pressed to find a better save than that lorries
who can they pick out well they couldn't take advantage of the opportunity
for certainly allowing their opponents to come on to them
diogo jota super block and a corner to liverpool as they look to press home their advantage
who can he pick out a spurs free kick it's going to be
manet
alexander arnold
thiago oh surely blocked it brilliantly gets in the way once more
make a personnel switch now
henderson read it well
good visualization and execution oh great vision
well that really wasn't a great effort was it great pressure to win the ball back
lo celso
reguilon and jaybird with it
and another good tackle
diego jota
alexander arnold and this is diogo jota now
well nicely cut out now what can they do with the ball
romero well these spurs fans can sense an equalizer coming here but can the players respond
possibilities inside the box
and a substitution in the office
to be
alexander arnold and the referee says corner
now
roberto kick played in not all that convincing defensively
well threat over for now
son well the counter chance looks very real
the vision can he get onto this how about this
astonishing
well here it is again and that's the perfect volley isn't it he strikes it so well
what an excellent finish
so the ball is running again at one all
and here come liverpool a goal at this lake stage
might settle things moving the ball effectively looking for the right moment and a tidy challenge
okay
liverpool have given it away
as far as stoppage time is concerned three minutes here well the spurs fans can sense
a winner coming here but can they create one more big chance and space to cross it
and harry kane ready to pounce
and there's the whistle they cannot be separated after 90 minutes
you
