'Liverpool are playing like Man Utd - like champions!' - Former Anfield star Gillespie

The Reds pulled two points ahead of Manchester City on Sunday with a win over Tottenham, despite not being at their free-flowing best

Liverpool are showing the same form Manchester United did during their dominance of the Premier League, according to former Anfield star Gary Gillespie.

The Reds edged two points ahead of title rivals Manchester City with a last-minute 2-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday, and Gillespie was full of praise for his old team's ability to come up with the result.

Jurgen Klopp's side had been far from their best - only having 48 per cent of possession - but found the net in the 90th minute via a Toby Alderweireld own goal after Lucas Moura had cancelled out Roberto Firmino's first-half strike.
