Lull ends against Tottenham
Firmino breaks Liverpool's goal curse

Liverpool FC can still win. After setbacks in the league and the end of the cup, the Reds finally celebrate a three-point against Tottenham. Ex-Hoffenheim firmino ended Klopp's team's goal doldrums shortly before half-time.

Liverpool FC has stopped its downward trend and celebrated a prestige win in the Premier League. At Tottenham Hotspur, the team of German team manager Jürgen Klopp won 3-1 (1-0) in the evening and celebrated their first success in the league since December 19.

After the Reds had not scored in the past four games, Roberto Firmino (45 + 4) released the champions with his goal just before the break. When Trent Alexander-Arnold (47th) increased shortly after the break, Klopp cheered relaxed. But because Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg (49th) immediately shortened and another Liverpool goal by Mo Salah (56th) was not recognized, the game initially remained exciting. Sadio Mane (65th) met Tottenham after a defensive error.

Hit by Son does not count for offside

Liverpool improved to fourth with 37 points, Spurs have 33 points and are sixth. Manchester City (41) is already a bit away at the top of the table. In the first half of the season Liverpool had won 2-1 against the team of star coach José Mourinho.

Klopp's team almost fell behind in the early stages. Former Bundesliga professional Heung-Min Son (3rd) was offside when he scored for Spurs. In a thrilling and high-class game, both teams combined strongly, Firmino's goal was initiated by captain Jordan Henderson.

The goal gave Liverpool noticeable security. Tottenham, on the other hand, missed its striker and exceptional player Harry Kane, who had to be replaced during the break.
