How Tottenham win turns title race on its head – and Liverpool’s new wildcard

Recovered yet?

James Pearce, Ian Doyle, Joe Rimmer and Connor Dunn have – well, just about – to record the latest edition of the brilliant Blood Red podcast which, unsurprisingly, focuses on Liverpool’s last-gasp 2-1 win over Tottenham and all the big talking points from a dramatic afternoon at Anfield.

It was a win that moved the Reds back to the top of the Premier League and James, in particular, believes it was much more than just three points.

Will Liverpool win the Premier League title? Predict how the race with Man City will end

Enjoy.
