Liverpool recovers to beat Spurs to restore six-point lead

Tottenham transformed its first-minute fortunes against Liverpool, just not the outcome.

A goal after 47 seconds by Tottenham captain Harry Kane at Anfield yesterday contrasted with the misery of Madrid in June when a penalty was conceded 22 seconds into the Champions League final against the same team.

But just as Mohamed Salah netted the penalty that set Liverpool on its way to a sixth European Cup, the striker also scored from the spot again 148 days on against Tottenham to complete a domestic comeback.

With a 2-1 victory — aided by captain Jordan Henderson's equalizer — Liverpool restored its six-point lead at the top of the league.

Liverpool is chasing its first league title since 1990. For Tottenham, it is finding a way to rise from 11th place closer to the top four where it has finished for four consecutive seasons.

With 12 points from 10 games, the north London club is enduring its worst start since Mauricio Pochettino took charge in 2014.

Man United beats Norwich 3-1 despite 2 failed penalties

Tim Krul saved two VARawarded penalties in the first half but ended up on the losing team as Manchester United beat Norwich 3-1 in the Premier League.

Krul kept out spot kicks from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial but they both scored later in the game as United recorded its first Premier League away win since February and jumped to seventh.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side ended its 11-match run without a win away from Old Trafford by beating Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League in midweek, and backed it up with an impressive performance at Carrow Road.

United broke the deadlock through Scott McTominay's low drive and in the process became the first club to score 2,000 Premier League goals.

Arsenal captain Xhaka rages against fans in draw with Palace

Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka appeared to swear at his team's own supporters after being substituted yesterday when a twogoal lead was surrendered against Crystal Palace to draw 22 in the Premier League.

The decision by Unai Emery to withdraw Xhaka in the second half was initially greeted by large cheers, which soon turned to jeers as he took his time to leave the field despite the score being level.

Xhaka reacted by waving his arms, cupping his ears and seemingly mouthing a profanity twice as he pushed away a handshake from Emery. Xhaka took off his shirt and headed straight down the tunnel.

It had started so well, with goals in the opening nine minutes.

Arsenal defensive duo Sokratis Papastathopoulos and David Luiz scored inside 106 seconds.

But it started to go wrong in
