Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Follow live coverage as Liverpool face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.

It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

The full-time whistle blows and calls to an end a truly bonkers 90 minutes of Premier League football with Jota's last-minute winner securing a dramatic 4-3 win against Tottenham. The home side were at their brilliant best racing into a three-goal lead after just 15 minutes before Kane pulled one back before half-time. Son's finish further reduced the deficit before Richarlison thought he had rescued a point for Spurs in injury time with his header. But a catastrophic error from Lucas Moura - straight from kick-off - allowed Jota to run through and score just a minute later to secure all three points for Liverpool who now move above Spurs and into fifth.

And just like that, Spurs are on the front foot. Son nearly latches onto another ball over the top before Skipp's burst into the box is ended by a well-timed albeit risky tackle from Konate. Hojbjerg sees his header go wide moments later as Spurs continue to chase an equaliser.

Salah does well to keep a long ball in play but his cross isn't good enough and Spurs clear it away.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

17:47

Porro, this time, with Spurs' latest effort. It's a vicious strike from range and has to be tipped over the bar from Alisson. From the corner, Liverpool break but Spurs recover to clear the danger.

OFF THE POST TWICE!! Two golden chances goes begging for Spurs. Kulusevski finds Son on the edge of the box and he shifts it onto his right before cannoning an effort of the right post. Moments later Romero stretches a leg out and connects with Kane's cross but his effort this time flicks the outside of the left post. Promising signs from Spurs.

That first half perfectly encapsulated Spurs' season. A woeful start to the game with comical defending that has virtually put the game beyond their reach. And yet, with just a two-minute period, they show the attacking talent that they have and their ability to hurt teams. It's an almighty mess to try and untangle and judging off the first 45 minutes today, Ryan Mason is no closer to figuring it out.

17:24

A very strange first half draws to an end with Liverpool leading 3-1 against Spurs. The home side flew out of the traps and were 3-0 up after just 15 minutes of abject Spurs defending. An unmarked Jones volleyed home from Alexander-Arnold's cross after three minutes before Diaz netted on his return to the starting lineup and Salah converted from the spot. Liverpool took their foot off the gas, though, and a hectic two-minute period almost saw Spurs score three times in response. Son saw an effort cleared off the line whilst Alison made a superb save to deny Kulusevski. Kane did grab one - volleying home from Perisic's cross - to leave Spurs with at least the faintest glimmer of hope heading into the second half.

SAVE!! What a period of play from Spurs. It's now Kulusevski who bears down on goal. He jinks past the Liverpool defence to carve out an opportunity but it's a great save by the trailing leg of Alisson to prevent Spurs getting a second. Could there be life in this game yet?

17:04

Alexander-Arnold is given room to cross but Spurs can clear. The ball is recycled as far as Robertson and his cross finds the rising Elliott but the midfielder can't get enough contact on his header to divert it on target.

A rare venture forward for Spurs sees Kane through on goal. He opts to square it to Son who fails to get on the end of the pass but it would not have counted as the offside flag goes up shortly after.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

17:01

Tottenham are winless in five Premier League away games, losing as many games in this run (3) has they had in their previous 16 on the road beforehand (W8 D5). It's their longest run without an away league win since a run of 12 between February and November 2019.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

16:58

With just 24 minutes gone, the game already feels like somewhat of a testimonial. Spurs are trying to get on the ball and their fans are ironically jeering every pass they make. It could yet be a long 65 minutes for those fans who made the trip up north.

16:57

16:56

More chances for Liverpool as the ball is laid back to Salah on the edge of the box. The Egyptian tries to bend it around the Spurs defenders and into the far corner but he can't quite pull it off and the ball goes wide.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

16:51

Liverpool break up the pitch once again and Gakpo has all kinds of space down the left. He cuts inside but his effort is deflected behind for a corner. Alexander-Arnold delivers but Konate can't direct his header on goal and Spurs clear.

Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

16:47

PENALTY!! And it gets worse for Spurs - it's a shocking challenge from Romero as Gakpo finds the ball in the box. He sends the Dutchman to the ground and it's as simple a decision as any referee is likely to have to make. Comical defending from Spurs.
