Milner directed a nerveless penalty into the bottom-left corner after Erik Lamela had been penalised for clipping Roberto Firmino right on the edge of the Spurs box. James Milner stepped up and made no mistake from 12-yards, 1-0.

Tottenham were being overrun and they finally cracked in the 43rd minute when referee Bobby Madley pointed to the spot.
Danny Rose’s late strike, squeezed between Simon Mignolet and the goalkeeper’s near post, drew Spurs level as both sides were forced to settle for a point going into the worldwide break.
Neither side could find the victor during the final stages of the game so an entertaining match finished 1-1 in north London.
Pochettino’s team had to withstand a great deal of pressure from Liverpool for large periods of the first half, with Kyle Walker coming off early on due to illness and affecting the host’s game plan.
Both struggled to carve out chances as the half went on, but the Reds were awarded a penalty after 40 minutes.
Both Tottenham and Liverpool have been tipped to challenge for the top four this season, but Spurs aren’t yet showing the kind of form that nearly took them to the title last season.
Danny Rose’s second-half strike gave Tottenham a point after Liverpool looked on course for a second successive away win in north London.
“I can only pick 11 players for the start. But for this game, I made the decision for what we needed”. “He will play and he will score and all will be good”, he said.
Spurs finally drew level in the 72nd minute through Rose who smashed in a loose ball.
“When we know something and when are close to doing something, then we will inform you – or a little bit later”.
In contract, Sturridge is one of the most reliable finishers in the Premier League when played down the middle, with a rate better than one goal in two games. But we showed we can be good.

While we didn’t see an impressive defence so far from Liverpool, they will no doubt be working at that, too – and it could help them beat Tottenham.
