#5 Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur
Trending
With an embarrassing start to 2017 calendar year which saw the Reds pick up only one win in 10 games and none in five PL games, pressure was surely mounting on Liverpool. A resurgent performance was anticipated from the Reds even though Spurs were looking favourites to take something from their visit.
Season’s star performer Sadio Mane was back in the lineup and started the game strongly, causing all sorts of problem to Spurs' defence. The fantastic start turned into a remarkable one as Mane’s brilliant run was matched by Wijnaldum’s fantastic through-ball which enabled the former to curl it beyond Lloris and give Reds the much-deserved lead.
The lead was doubled a few minutes later when Mane pressed Dier into giving the ball away, before Lloris denied Lallana and Firmino, only for Mane to shoot the ball home. The Reds ended the half with a 2-0 lead.
There was not much in the second half as Liverpool defence held on to get all the three points.
