Liverpool's brave moments over the course of the full 90, Lennon found the winner when a Benoit Assou-Ekotto long ball trickled its way into his path and the quick winger was then able to blow past a sleeping Paul Konchesky for a one on one with Pepe Reina. Lennon struck the ball past Reina to the right and all three points belonged to Spurs.
Moments before the winner, Jermain Defoe netted for Spurs but was ruled offside to the dismay of the home crowd. In the game's dying moments, Spurs really should have had a third when one of their best moves of the day witnessed Lennon push his shot wide of the goal. The missed attempt was the result of a quick counter attack which also saw Luka Modric wide open in front of goal.
