The game between both teams began to lose balance midway through the first half. In the 24th minute of the first half, a variable occurred in Liverpool. Jones stepped on his ankle while competing with Bissouma. The referee initially gave a warning, but after a video review (VAR), he declared the player to be sent off. Tottenham, with a numerical superiority, scored the first goal 10 minutes later.

The scorer was Son Heung-min. In the 36th minute of the first half, Madison attempted a sharp penetration pass. After receiving this, Richarlison sent a ground ball cross from the left, and Son Heung-min, who was quickly rushing to the goal, finished it easily. This goal was also Son Heung-min’s 200th goal in Europe.

Tottenham gave Liverpool an equalizer just before the end of the first half. However, a second variable occurred in Liverpool when Jota was sent off for accumulating warnings in the 24th minute of the second half. The mood shifted again to Tottenham, who had two more players. In the end, Tottenham won 2-1, including an own goal in the 5th minute of extra time in the second half.

With this, Tottenham reported victory against Liverpool for the first time in 13 games. Tottenham won 4-1 at home in the 5th round of the league in the 2017-18 season. However, they went away in the 26th round and drew 2-2. From this point on, the martial arts continued. They suffered 7 consecutive losses, and had 12 games, 3 draws, and 9 losses across all competitions until last season.

In the meantime, many managers passed through Tottenham. There were Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, Nuno Santo, Antonio Conte, etc. Among these, Coach Santo did not face Liverpool. Director Postekoglou did what so-called great players could not do.

Coach Postekoglou took office at Tottenham ahead of this season. He took up his post at Celtic in 2021 after serving as a leader on the Asian stage, including in Australia and Japan. And he quickly proved his leadership skills. In his first season in charge, he achieved the double by winning the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup.

Last season, he achieved the ‘domestic treble’ (winning three domestic competitions). He won the league, league cup and even the FA Cup. As a result, Tottenham, who were looking for a head coach, showed interest, and he finally took the helm.

The mood is good so far. Tottenham, under coach Postekoglou, drew with Brentford in the opening match of the PL. However, they have not lost since then and are ranked 2nd in the league. And we were able to experience the joy of victory against Liverpool for the first time in a long time.
