Liverpool vs. Tottenham

There were some great football games over the weekend. Liverpool came back to beat high-flying Spurs and Chelsea came back to draw with Man Utd. The game between Liverpool was an interesting one because both team deserved to win. Liverpool played an excellent game to beat Tottenham. Defender, Jan Vertongen, got both of Spurs goals. Suarez, Downing and Gerrard got the goals from Liverpool. For me, the  stand out player in the game was Tottenham's Vertongen. He played an excellent match and scored two goals. He was also very solid in defense. He attacked from time to time and didn't make many mistakes. Overall a great performance from the Belgian. Suarez got another goal to his name with a cheeky finish past Brad Jones. Suarez has been playing amazingly this season. He has scored goals. He has been carrying Liverpool on his shoulders this season.Him and van Persie are contending for the golden boot this season. The young Cutinho showed his potential to be one of the world's best with another brilliant performance. Hugo Lloris put in another solid performance. The whole Liverpool team showed character to comeback from a 2-1 scoreline. The fought for their victory and they earned it. This loss ends Tottenham's run of 12 games unbeaten. Tottenham on the other hand played well but not well enough. They were sometimes caught ball watching. Tottenham played well but didn't have enough willingness to win the game. This loss means that Tottenham can fall to 4th place because now there is only a 2-point gap separating them and Chelsea. Chelsea have a game in hand. Chelsea play West Ham next week. In a couple of week there will be a match between Chelsea and Spurs. It should be an interesting game.
