LIVERPOOL came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 Sunday and restore its six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Liverpool players saw their commanding eight-point lead cut to six after their draw at Old Trafford last week and Manchester City cranked up the pressure Saturday by beating Aston Villa 3-0.

Jurgen Klopp’s men were put under further pressure after Spurs made a stunning start at Anfield, snatching the lead inside the opening minute. Son Heung-min burst forward and tried his luck from the edge of the area. His shot took a deflection and rebounded off the bar to Harry Kane, who calmly headed in, silencing the home crowd.

Liverpool piled on the pressure but goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga kept the marauding attackers at bay.

The home side finally claimed an equalizer in the 52nd minute when Jordan Henderson finished coolly, shooting across goal from close range.

And Liverpool took the lead in the 75th minute after referee Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty for a foul by Serge Aurier on Sadio Mane.

Mohamed Salah fired into the bottom corner from the spot — the 50th Anfield goal of his Liverpool career — to complete the turnaround and leave Spurs languishing in 11th place in the Premier League table.

Elsewhere, Arsenal squandered a 2-0 lead at home to Crystal Palace to draw 2-2 in a match marred by an angry exchange between Granit Xhaka and the home fans while 10-man Newcastle held on to draw with Wolves.

Manchester United swept Norwich aside 3-1 at Carrow Road to record its first away win in the Premier League since February. (SD-Agencies)
