Michael Owen set Liverpool on the way to a 3-2 win over Tottenham at White Hart Lane today.

Liverpool climbed to fifth in the standings after Owen and his England team mates Emile Heskey and Steven Gerrard scored second-half goals.

Tottenham had taken the lead four minutes into the second half thanks to a 30-yard drive by defender Mauricio Taricco, but Owen pounced from close range to equalise two minutes later.

Heskey headed in Gerrard's cross from six metres after 72 minutes to put Liverpool ahead, and Gerrard sealed the three points with a firm low shot from the edge of the penalty area eight minutes from time.
