Liverpool boss Arne Slot has provided an injury update on Alexander Isak after he hobbled off against Tottenham
Liverpool won a chaotic Premier League clash against Tottenham with Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons both sent off for the latter. Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike were on target for Arne Slot's side, but it was a nervy end to the game after Richarlison pulled one back.
The champions ultimately held on for a huge three points to take them up to fifth in the table. The biggest talking point of the first half arrived when for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk.
With Liverpool having the man advantage, Isak came on for Conor Bradley at half-time and scored 11 minutes after his introduction.
However, he could not celebrate only his third goal of the season as he suffered an injury courtesy of Micky van de Ven's attempted block. and though they could not keep back-to-back clean sheets as Richarlison scored a scruffy goal to half their advantage, Slot's side held on.
Here are some of the best pictures from the victory over Spurs.
