Dirk Kuyt put Liverpool ahead when he smashed in a shot on three minutes.
Darren Bent sliced a clearance against his own post before Steven Gerrard hit the post with a deflected shot and then saw his lob cannon back off the bar.
Jamie Carragher headed into his own net to give Spurs hope and Pavlyuchenko tapped in from Bent's cross to win it.
It was a remarkable turnaround for Tottenham, whose fortunes have been completely revived under the stewardship of new boss Harry Redknapp.
We had a bit of luck - Redknapp
And just as they had against Arsenal in midweek, Spurs seemed to be staring defeat in the face against Liverpool only to come back from the dead.
The visitors, who have now been overtaken by Chelsea at the top of the table, will feel they should have won the game as they largely dominated on a rain-sodden pitch in torrential conditions.
But they were made to pay for missed chances, while Spurs deserve credit for hanging in at times before finishing the game with spirit and belief.
The way Liverpool started the match, it seemed the floodgates were set to open and Spurs were about to be swept away.
