X reacts as Liverpool see Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota sent off at Tottenham

Tottenham's recent run of results against Liverpool is the stuff of cursed legend.

Spurs have suffered Champions League final heartbreak, Jose Mourinho embarrassment and last-minute despair at the hands of the Reds. The two sides squared off on Saturday night and it provided a night where all vital decisions seemed to swing the home side's way.

The Game promised to be an entertaining affair boasting Football from managers Ange Postecoglou and Jurgen Klopp and the first half ended level despite a few calls going Tottenham's way.

Curtis Jones slipped over the top of the ball and caught Yves Bissouma flush on the ankle, having his yellow card upgraded to a red after VAR intervention midway through the first half.

The player advantage unsurprisingly worked to Tottenham's favour as they took the lead around ten minutes after the incident.

Richarlison raced in behind and squared to the free Son Heung-min who prodded Tottenham ahead on the scoresheet.

Liverpool's player deficit didn't look like it was being aided by Cody Gakpo, the Dutchman limping towards the interval, but instead he drew the away side level with a brilliant finish. Gakpo collected Virgil van Dijk's header across the box, swivelled and powered a strike that Guglielmo Vicario could only get fingertips to.

Liverpool still looked threatening at the start of the second half as they tried to catch Tottenham on the counter, but their job got a lot harder thanks to the misadventures of substitute Diogo Jota.

The Portugal international replaced the injured Gakpo at half time but collected two bookings in as many minutes midway through the second period to leave Liverpool with only nine players.

The visitors were admirable in defence despite missing two players for most of the second half. A switch to three central defenders helped Jurgen Klopp's side limit the space available to Tottenham in the box.

However, the incessant home pressure eventually told when Pedro Porro's cross was diverted into his own net by Joel Matip.

The win takes Tottenham above Liverpool and into second, a point behind Manchester City who were surprisingly beaten away at Wolves earlier on Saturday. They are also level on points with north London rivals Arsenal.

The Biden administration announced more than $80 million in funding Thursday in a push to produce more solar panels in the U.S., make solar energy available to more people, and pursue superior alternatives to the ubiquitous sparkly panels made with silicon. The Department of Energy announced the investments in the morning and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm plans to visit a community solar site in Washington in the afternoon. Community solar refers to a variety of arrangements where renters and people who don't control their rooftops can still get their electricity from solar power. Two weeks ago, Vice President Kamala Harris announced what the administration said was the largest community solar effort ever in the United States...

Stock market today: Most of Wall Street slips as the bond market cranks up the pressure

Most stocks closed lower as the constrictor of higher interest rates tightened its coils around Wall Street NEW YORK -- Stocks mostly slipped in mixed trading Monday as the constrictor of higher interest rates tightened its coils around Wall Street. The S & P 500 edged up by 0.34, or less than 0.1%, to 4,288.39, coming off its worst month of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 74.15 points, or 0.2%, to 33,433.35, and the Nasdaq composite rose 88.45, or 0.7%, to 13,307.77. Slumps for oil-and-gas stocks weighed on the market after crude prices gave back some of the sharp gains made since the summer. The majority of stocks fell alongside them, with more than three quarters of those within the S & P 500 sinking, but gains for Apple and other influential Big Tech stocks helped support indexes. Stocks have broadly given back 40% of their strong gains for the year since the end of July. The main reason is Wall Street’s growing acceptance that high interest rates are her...
