Alexander Isak's goal celebration was short-lived as he was forced off the pitch with an ankle injury after scoring Liverpool's opener against Tottenham. The Sweden striker scored in the 56th minute, but his leg buckled after a challenge from Micky van de Ven, and he was carried off on a stretcher.
Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Liverpool
- Alexander Isak (Liverpool) - 56th minute
- Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool) - 66th minute
- Richarlison (Tottenham Hotspur) - 83rd minute
Isak had been introduced at halftime and played just 11 minutes before being substituted. The injury is a blow to Liverpool, with manager Arne Slot expressing concerns about the severity of the injury. Van de Ven wasn't punished for the challenge, sparking outrage among Liverpool fans.
Xavi Simons was sent off in the first half for a dangerous challenge on Virgil van Dijk, reducing Tottenham to 10 men. Cristian Romero was also sent off for a second yellow card, leaving Tottenham with 9 men
