Liverpool's best and worst players in dramatic win over Tottenham

Liverpool survived a remarkable comeback from Tottenham to earn all three points in the most dramatic of fashions on Sunday.

3-0 up inside the opening 15 minutes, it looked like the Reds were set to put Spurs to the sword in the same way Newcastle United did last week, but the visitors showed much more grit and determination this time round.

Ryan Mason's side clawed their way back to draw level in 93rd minute of the game, celebrating Richarlison's first goal in the Premier League season in the way you'd have expected them to: wildly.

Just one minute later however, Liverpool found a way to win. Diogo Jota stole in to latch onto a loose pass from Lucas Moura and score the winner in front of the Kop.

After all that fun, here were Liverpool's best and worst performers according to 90min's player ratings.

Liverpool's best player vs Tottenham Hotspur

Diogo Jota: 9/10

Although the Portuguese forward didn't start the game - coming on for Luis Diaz in the 63rd minute - he went on to make the most important contribution of the game.

Jota was alert to Lucas Moura's loose pass in his own defensive third in the 94th minute of the game, after most of the Anfield faithful had given up hope of securing all three points, to steal the ball, rush into the penalty area and fire the ball low into the bottom right corner of the net.

A huge goal from the diminutive forward.

Honourable mention

Cody Gakpo: 8/10

Followed up his player of the match performance in midweek against West Ham with another impressive showing on Sunday at Anfield.

Gakpo has made the false nine role, previously played by Roberto Firmino, his own in recent weeks and is undoubtedly going to be a key player for Jurgen Klopp for many years to come.

Liverpool's worst player vs Tottenham Hotspur

Virgil van Dijk: 2/10

The towering centre-back went full Jerome Boateng vs. Lionel Messi when up against Ivan Perisic on the corner of the penalty area and, as a result, has now become a meme.

No defender ever wants to become meme fodder.

Dishonourable mention

Fabinho: 3/10

Another very disappointing outing for the defensive midfielder on Sunday.

Fabinho fundamentally failed to shield his backline and, as a result, Tottenham were able to create a boatload of chances throughout the game and almost complete a remarkable comeback.

This summer is probably the time when Liverpool need to find a replacement for the formerly-fantastic Brazilian.
