Liverpool, who had two players sent off, missed the chance to move top of the Premier League after losing 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening.
Jurgen Klopp named the same starting line-up from the Reds' win over West Ham United last weekend, while Spurs recalled Richarlison in place of the injured Brennan Johnson.
Things got tough for the away side in the 26th minute as they were reduce to ten men in the 26th minute when Curtis Jones' yellow was upgraded to a red after a Video Assistant Referee review. Two minutes later, the home side got the breakthrough when star midfielder James Maddison played in Richarlison who unselfishly teed up Son Heung-min to tap into an empty net.
Spurs came out firing in the second half and could have retaken the lead but Reds goalkeeper Alisson Becker produced a couple fine saves to deny Maddison and Son in the opening ten minutes.
