Arne Slot's Liverpool survived a frenetic finish to defeat Tottenham 2-1 at the Hotspur Stadium, extending their win streak to three amid red cards for Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero. Substitutes Alexander Isak (55') and Hugo Ekitike (66') struck after a VAR-overturned Romero goal, but Richarlison's 78th-minute reply tested the visitors.
Simons' 48th-minute dismissal for fouling Virgil van Dijk ignited the chaos, followed by Romero's second yellow for denying a goalscoring chance. Liverpool, seventh on 26 points, leapfrogged Chelsea into sixth. Thomas Frank's Spurs, 11th on 22, lost a ninth home game in 2025, with Romero's antics drawing captaincy scrutiny.
Slot praised his bench's impact, while Isak limped off injured. The match's 15 bookings highlighted its intensity, drawing 62,000 fans.
