Reuters: Liverpool ended Tottenham Hotspur’s 12-match unbeaten Premier League run when a late Steven Gerrard penalty sealed a 3-2 win at Anfield on Sunday after the visitors led 2-1 with little more than 20 minutes to play.

The result gave Liverpool their third successive league win and lifted them up to sixth, strengthening their chances of a Europa League place next season and also keeping alive their slimmer hopes of a top four finish which would earn them a Champions League spot.

It also dented third-placed Spurs’s hopes of closing in on Manchester City in second place and meant they failed to increase their lead over Chelsea and Arsenal in the race for a Champions League place.

It was their first league defeat since they lost 2-1, also on Merseyside, to late Everton goals three months ago.
