Liverpool have broken the deadlock with Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane just a few minutes before halftime. Erik Lamela fouled Roberto Firmino in the box and the Reds were awarded a penalty. Up stepped James Milner and he made no mistake in converting:

A perfect penalty to give Liverpool a lead that they probably deserve. They have held their own away from home against last season’s Premier League runner-up. The Reds could be up by even more if not for some Michel Vorm heroics in the Spurs goal.
