Alexander Isak scored and picked up an injury during a dramatic 14-minute cameo as Liverpool beat nine-man Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 to climb up to fifth place in the Premier League.
The £125 million summer signing from Newcastle was introduced at halftime after a goalless opening 45 minutes in which Spurs midfielder Xavi Simons was sent off on VAR review for a late tackle on Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk. Spurs boss Thomas Frank was incensed by the decision -- which meant his team had to play for an hour with a man less -- and they fell behind when Isak converted in the 56th minute, finishing crisply past Guglielmo Vicario.
