Below is a summary of the full article. Click here for the full version from Echo or go back to LFC Live.

After Xavi Simons was dismissed in the first half for a foul on Virgil van Dijk, substitute Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike before Richarlison pulled a goal back and Cristian Romero was sent off for a second bookable offence. Ryan Gravenberch 7 Played a bit too timidly when in possession before break but did create chance for Wirtz, and evidently enjoyed himself more in greater space as Tottenham saw players exit.

Curtis Jones 7 Saw plenty of the ball during the opening half-hour and revelled in the extra space with Tottenham down to 10 men, but almost helped gift Tottenham equaliser. Florian Wirtz 8 Looked to get Liverpool going with quick passes and shot saved by Vicario before unlocking Tottenham defence with assist for Isak.

Hugo Ekitike 7 Almost in behind on several occasions but lacked sufficient support and service until second half, and fine header above Romero for second. Jeremie Frimpong (for Isak 60) 7 Good impact with pace down right and deflected cross for second.
