Liverpool and Tottenham shared the points at Anfield in a match that was decided only in the final minutes. Liverpool took the lead in the 19th minute with a spectacular goal from Szoboszlai, who scored directly from a free kick, beating goalkeeper Vicario.
Tottenham's Italian goalkeeper reacted well in the 35th minute, deflecting Gakpo's shot onto the post. At the end of the first half, it was Alisson who saved Liverpool, stopping a header from Richarlison.
When everything seemed to be heading towards victory for the home team, Tottenham found the equalizer in the 90th minute. Richarlison took advantage of a moment of uncertainty in the Liverpool defense and sent the ball into the net for the score 1-1.
This is the first positive result for Tottenham under coach Igor Tudor, while the London team breaks the series of six consecutive defeats. Liverpool, however, climbs to fifth place in the standings with 49 points, but misses a golden chance to get closer to the Champions League zone. Now the attention for “The Reds” will turn to the Champions League as the return match against Galatasaray will be played on Wednesday.
After the match, coach Arne Slot was disappointed with this draw: "In the larger parts of the match where we were the better team, I think there was a moment where we should have scored the second goal. We had several opportunities to do so and not a few times. Of course, this draw is harmful for us, but the problem is that this has happened to us many times. We are not helping ourselves at all. Many times this season we have created as many chances or more than the goals we actually score", emphasized, among other things, the "Reds" coach.
