Liverpool, who had hoped for an early title celebration at Anfield, were shocked when Tottenham scored within minutes. A corner from James Maddison found Solanke, who rose high to head the ball past Alisson, leaving the Liverpool goalkeeper helpless.

Tottenham capitalized on a set-piece, with Solanke’s powerful header securing an early lead. Liverpool’s defense failed to react in time, allowing the former Reds striker to celebrate against his old club.

Solanke, who has scored crucial goals for Tottenham this season under manager Ange Postecoglou, added another decisive strike to his tally. Liverpool must now regroup and find a way back into the match to keep their title hopes alive.
