Dejan Lovren declared Liverpool’s victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as a ‘massive, massive win’ after they came from behind to secure all three points in a pulsating encounter.
The Reds were stunned after just 49 seconds of play at Anfield when Harry Kane stooped to nod in the opening goal after Son Heung-min’s shot had deflected off Lovren and struck the post.
The hosts responded by piling pressure on their opponents’ defence, but could not find a way through before half-time – largely due to an exceptional performance from Spurs goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.
However, Liverpool eventually levelled just seven minutes after the restart, with Jordan Henderson sweeping a Fabinho pass into the bottom corner from close range, before Mohamed Salah’s clinical penalty sealed a well-earned win.
