Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Liverpool


Sebastien Bassong marked his Tottenham Hotspur debut by heading the winner against Liverpool.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto had fired Spurs into a deserved lead with a stunning 25-yard strike a minute before half-time. Robbie Keane had twice been denied by superb saves from Pepe Reina as Harry Redknapp's men finished the first half on top.

Steven Gerrard smashed Liverpool level from the penalty spot on 56 minutes following a foul on Glen Johnson by Heurelho Gomes.

But Bassong, an £8m signing from Newcastle United, climbed well to nod the winner three minutes later.
