On Saturday evening, the seventh matches of the 22nd round were played in the English Premier League. An intriguing confrontation took place in North London, where the local Tottenham hosted the undefeated Liverpool this season. After a fierce battle, Jurgen Klopp's team secured another victory. The match started without much observation - both teams were looking for a quick goal. Liverpool had the best chance to do so, but the hosts were saved from conceding by 20-year-old defender Japhet Tanganga, who cleared the ball flying towards the goal. Tottenham also had their chances, trying to convert all attacks into fast counterattacks. In the 37th minute, the ball finally crossed the goal line, but it did not please most fans at the Tottenham stadium - Roberto Firmino scored after a pass from Mohamed Salah, bypassing Paulo Gazzaniga. This goal, as the events that followed showed, turned out to be decisive, but the match was not boring because of it. In the second half, Tottenham players were much more active in front of Liverpool's goal, making the visitors' life difficult in this game. Heung-Min Son and Giovani Lo Celso had excellent opportunities to score, but both players missed the target from promising positions. For Liverpool, this was already the 20th victory in this season. They are now ahead of their closest pursuers by up to 16 points. In addition, the "Reds" have not lost in 38 consecutive games in the English top division. Meanwhile, Tottenham, after their second consecutive defeat, dropped to eighth place. Result: Tottenham 0 - 1 Liverpool 37' [0 - 1] R.
