Roberto Firmino proved the hero for Liverpool with a 90th minute header as they moved back to the top of the table following a 2-1 victory over Tottenham.
It looked like it would be a frustrating night for the Reds after Son Heung-min cancelled out Mohamed Salah’s deflected strike in the first half.
But Firmino had the last laugh after heading home emphatically from a corner on Wednesday night with the clock ticking down.
Here, Sportsmail’s Dominic King runs the rule over both sets of players.

The Brazilian buries his header home into the top corner in the 90th minute at Anfield
LIVERPOOL (4-3-3)
Alisson Becker – No chance with Son’s goal, almost caught out by a Kane shot in the second half, otherwise underemployed – 6
Trent Alexander-Arnold – Gradually getting back to full fitness, his deliveries lacked their usual precision – 6.5
Rhys Williams – Towering early header settled his nerves and played with assurance for the rest of the game – 7
Fabinho – Difficult to believe his natural position is midfield, given the authority he exudes in defence – 7
Andrew Robertson – Continues to be in excellent form and the energy he shows throughout is remarkable – 7
Jordan Henderson – Never anything flash from the captain but the tempo he set for his team was impeccable – 7.5
Rhys Williams played with great assurance throughout the top of the table encounter
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson set an impeccable tempo for his side at Anfield
Gini Wijnaldum – Goes through the pain barrier all the time and received some rough treatment from Sissoko – 7
Curtis Jones – The more he plays, the more comfortable he looks and his drive created Liverpool’s opening goal – 8
Mohamed Salah – He’s often called selfish but his running and work-rate was selfless here; another goal for the tally – 7
Roberto Firmino – Denied twice in the first half but came good in the final seconds to win it with a beautiful, thunderous header – 7
Sadio Mane – Struggled to get clear opportunities but nearly scored in the second half when his shot rattled the crossbar – 6.5
Manager: Jurgen Klopp – Nothing wrong with the way his team was set up or how they approached game; furious with some of the decisions that went against Liverpool – 7
Curtis Jones played a key role for Liverpool in their last-gasp victory over Tottenham
Salah’s work rate and running was selfless and he added another goal to his tally for Liverpool
TOTTENHAM (4-4-2)
Hugo Lloris – Labelled the best goalkeeper in the league by his manager and showed his importance throughout – 7.5
Serge Aurier – Questions about his concentration in games like this but, in the main, his defending was excellent – 7
Toby Alderweirled – Class act and was there whenever a foot or head was needed to clear the danger – 7
Eric Dier – Anxious moment when ball hit his arm in the area in the first half; marshalled Firmino well – 7
Despite the last-gasp defeat, Hugo Lloris showed his importance throughout for Tottenham
Ben Davies – Onerous task of trying to contain Salah and rose to the occasion in a determined display – 7
Moussa Sissoko – A shade fortunate to escape a booking for foul on Wijnaldum though that was his only blemish – 7
Giovanni Lo Celso – Beautiful pass created Tottenham’s first opportunity but withdrawn after being booked – 6.5
Pierre-Emile Hojberg – Cynical foul on Firmino earned a caution but otherwise the disciplined figure Mourinho wanted – 7

Steven Bergwijn – Could have been the hero and will wonder how a shot that hit the post stayed out – 6.5
Harry Kane – Six yards out, in front of The Kop, and unmarked – how on earth did he miss a second half header? – 6
Son Heung-min – A joy to watch, as always, and the way he dispatched Tottenham’s equaliser was exquisite – 7.5
Manager: Jose Mourinho – His game plan could have been predicted beforehand but he made this a fascinating contest with his approach. Width of the woodwork stopped him hitting the jackpot – 7
Referee: Antony Taylor – Decisive throughout and allowed the game to flow. Didn’t really see much of him throughout and that’s how it should be for a referee – 7
Son Heung-min had dragged Tottenham level in the 33rd minute after a quick counter-attack
