Mario Balotelli came off the bench to net a late winner as Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 in a pulsating game at Anfield on Tuesday night.
The Italian turned home a cross from fellow substitute Adam Lallana in the final stages of the contest to clinch the three points with his first Barclays Premier League goal for the club.
Lazar Markovic had earlier given the Reds a deserved 15th minute lead, concluding a counter-attack by steering into the bottom corner via the hand of Hugo Lloris.
However, Spurs levelled via Harry Kane midway through the first half when the striker put the finishing touch on a slick move by drill beyond Simon Mignolet from 12 yards.
Daniel Sturridge hit the post before half-time and won an early penalty after the interval that allowed Steven Gerrard to restore Liverpool’s lead from the spot; however, Mousa Dembele equalised soon after, bundling Kane’s cross over the line from close range.
