Balotelli finally scores to earn Liverpool 3-2 win over Tottenham in PL

London, Feb 11 - Mario Balotelli finally ended his Premier League goal drought by netting his first goal for Liverpool to edge past rivals Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at Anfield.

Lazar Markovic put Liverpool ahead in the 15th minute before Harry Kane swiftly scored an equalizer for Spurs with his 23rd goal of an outstanding season.

Subsequently, Steven Gerrard's penalty helped the Brendon Rodgers' men restore the lead before it was leveled again by Mousa Dembele in the 61st minute for Spurs, the BBC reported.

However, striker Balotelli scored the decisive goal for Liverpool with a clinical finish from an Adam Lallana's well-worked cross.

Liverpool are seventh in the table, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal. (ANI)
