LIVERPOOL, England — Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League on Sunday with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham gifted by Toby Alderweireld’s 90th-minute own-goal for the third-placed London club. Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris couldn’t hold a header from Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah, instead sending the ball onto Alderweireld, who then diverted it back into his own net. We compete with the best team in the world I would say, Man City, and we play against one of the best teams in the world, Tottenham. It was a second half short of clear-cut chances but Tottenham began to apply more pressure on the Liverpool defence and made its breakthrough after 70 minutes. Tottenham is only ahead of fourth-place Manchester United on goal difference and a point ahead of London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.
