On Saturday, Jurgen Klopp will lead the Reds to North London to take on Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs. Since 2018, the Reds and Spurs have met twelve times in all competitions, and Liverpool have an impressive record of 9-3-0. As we gear up for what should be an absolute thriller, let’s rank the top 5 matches in the past five years between Liverpool and Tottenham. Here we go.

#5 – Premier League, 19 December 2021, Tottenham 2 – 2 Liverpool

Diogo Jota equalized this fiery game at 1-1, and then after a pinball sequence, Andy Robertson’s header gave Liverpool a 2-1 lead in the 69th minute. The intensity never abated, and Son capitalized on a rare mistake from Alisson to finish this high tempo game in a 2-2 draw.

#4 – Premier League, 31 March 2019, Liverpool 2 – 1 Tottenham

This match was end-to-end action, but neither side could find the finish to break the deadlock. In the 90th minute, Mo Salah got his head on the end of an arcing cross, and Hugo Lloris couldn’t handle the ball, which bounced off Toby Alderweireld for the own goal and the Liverpool victory.

#3 – Premier League, 4 February 2018, Liverpool 2 – 2 Tottenham

This nail-biter went into extra time 1-1, but Salah’s fabulous dribbling led to an artful chip over Hugo Lloris and a 2-1 lead for Liverpool. However, Harry Kane scored his 100th Premier League goal on a controversial penalty in the 95th minute to end this match in a 2-2 draw.

#2 – Premier League, 30 April 2023, Liverpool 4 – 3 Tottenham

In the 93rd minute, Richarlison equalized for Spurs, but just one minute later, Jota sent Anfield into a frenzy (and Jurgen Klopp to the trainer with a pulled hamstring) with the game-winning goal on a left-footed shot into the bottom corner of the net.

#1 – Champions League Final, 1 June 2019, Liverpool 2 – 0 Tottenham

The culmination of a grinding Champions League campaign that saw Liverpool takedown Bayern, Porto, and, of course, the sensational comeback against Barcelona in the semi-finals. In the final against Spurs,  Mo Salah’s penalty kick gave Liverpool the early lead, and Divock Origi sealed the Reds’ victory in the 87th minute to crown Liverpool champions of Europe.
