Last season's runners-up Liverpool lost 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur in their opening match of the Premier League campaign on Sunday.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto fired Spurs in front with a thumping shot past Pepe Reina just before halftime and Liverpool, narrow runners-up to United last season, levelled with a Steven Gerrard penalty early in the second half.
