Son goes for a Hollywood goal from the halfway line but it's no where near the goal.

DID YOU KNOW? Liverpool are yet to score a league goal in 2021, having failed to find the net in their last four top-flight matches. Not what you expect of this side and their attacking triumvirate.

Fair to say it's been a lively start to this one! Long may it continue.

NO GOAL! Still goalless. VAR checks and it's deemed offside. Let off for Liverpool and Mane.

GOAL? Son shows Mane how to do it as he coolly steers his shot beyond Alisson after a one-two with Kane. VAR checking.... it could be offside...

Huge chance for Mane. He's eight yards out but blazes wide!

DYNAMIC DUO: Nine of Son's 12 top-flight goals have been set up by Kane. A 10th assist tonight would set a new competition record.

Curtis Jones: "I don't think we've been doing as well because of the goals that we haven't been scoring but we've been creating a lot. So hopefully we can put things right in the games that are coming up. Every team is a great team, you've got to give 100 per cent. Spurs have a particular style of play, they like to sit deep, win the ball and then go on the counter-attack. We have to be aware of that."

Jose Mourinho on his relationship with Klopp: "I’m not a friend of Jurgen because I never had time with Jurgen. With Jurgen, it’s five minutes before or after match. He’s a colleague I respect. I don’t have any problems with him and I believe he’s the same with me.”

Jurgen Klopp: "We want to be the team nobody wants to play against. People told us we were the best team in the world. We weren't but that's not a problem. We could beat the best team in the world and we still can, but we want to prove that on the pitch and we will."
