Tottenham vs Liverpool: Premier League - LIVE!
Today, in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham is hosting Liverpool. This match is particularly intriguing as it features two of the strongest teams currently in English football, and both of them are defending their unbeaten records.
The fast progress of Spurs under Ange Postecoglou has been likened to the impact Jurgen Klopp had with Liverpool. However, it is still early in Postecoglou's time at Spurs and there is much to demonstrate before making such a comparison. Nevertheless, signs are hopeful and a strong showing against a renowned team would only reinforce this.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in impressive shape. After an unsatisfactory performance in the last season, hopes are up after a powerful start to the current season. They seem to be a serious contender for the title once again. For live updates, you can follow Standard Sport's match blog.

In just 25 minutes, something shocking has happened. It appears that Jones might have made a terrible challenge by going over the ball and injuring Bissouma's ankle. The referee initially gave a yellow card, but after consulting with VAR, it has been decided that the incident warrants a further review. To everyone's surprise, the decision has been overturned, and Jones has been shown a red card.

This is a really enjoyable game. Both teams are applying a lot of pressure, which means there is plenty of room in the midfield if either side's defense is able to move the ball forward. Liverpool seems to be the more threatening team when it comes to quick attacks, while Tottenham seems less sure of themselves when they get close to the goal.
It's been 22 minutes and Liverpool is putting a lot of effort into scoring the first goal. However, the attempt made by Salah by curving the ball from outside the penalty area with the outer part of his foot ends up being way off target, about 10 yards away from the goal.
The corner kick doesn't result in any scoring opportunity within 20 minutes.
After 19 minutes of play, there was another impressive offensive play from the team. Salah passed the ball to Mac Allister who quickly ran down the right side of the field and delivered a cross for Gakpo. Unfortunately, Gakpo's shot was redirected and went behind the goal.
After 18 minutes of play, Kulusevski made a cross that hit Van Dijk's arm causing shouts for a penalty. However, the referee did not consider it as such and awarded a corner. The Swede sent the ball up, but unfortunately, it did not make it past the first line of defense.
There's a temporary pause in the game because Romero got hurt during a challenge with Diaz. It seems like Diaz's elbow hit Romero's face, but it wasn't done on purpose.
In just 13 minutes, Vicario made a remarkable double save to prevent Gakpo and Robertson from scoring from a very close distance.
In just 11 minutes of the game, there was a great chance for the opening goal! Richarlison skillfully curved a low pass towards the goal, but unfortunately, Alisson missed it. Kulusevski tried to hit the ball with his foot, but he failed to connect with it.
In just 9 minutes of play, we're off to an amazing start! Both teams are giving it their all and relentlessly attacking each other.
