Liverpool’s hopes for the title were severely damaged after being held in a 1-1 draw at home against Tottenham Hotspur, who could indeed win the draw.
Jurgen Klopp’s men seemed surprisingly unimaginative when it came to growing attacks, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson throwing many encouraging centers in the penalty area without success. Despite all their possession and the fact that the Reds were camped in the last third of the Spurs for most of the match, the guests may have had better chances.
Son Hyun-min shocked Anfield when he put the Spurs ahead early in the second half after Harry Kane managed to play Ryan Sessegnon, who then put him on the South Korean national team. Luis Diaz’s January signature was available to save the hosts the red with a rebound equalizer in less than 20 minutes.

Pierre-Emile Heuberger could have won it for Antonio Conte’s team late, but chose to try to head the ball into Harry Kane’s way instead of heading alone. There would be no delay in front of the famous Kop, although the fans did their best to collect the reds.
After the full-time whistle, Klopp was surprisingly optimistic, but seemed disappointed when he discussed Tottenham’s style of play on Saturday night.
“For all the praise for Tottenham, a world-class opponent, they won against City – the game works for these games, but they are still fifth and for everything they lost time – it doesn’t make it easier, it’s smart, but it’s not easy. “,” Complained the head of the Reds.

Klopp also did not allow himself to pass his duties to the press after the match without making another light blow to the list of matches. He said: “In these moments we could be better and in better positions, but it’s also incredibly difficult to play against a rival with a world-class manager and a whole week of preparation – we play every three days, it’s so hard but I’m really good with the performance. “
Although the point is enough for Liverpool to overtake their rival for the title Manchester City in first place at the top of the table, they are there only because of their excellent goal difference and have played one game more. For its part, the momentum swung significantly in favor of Pep Guardiola’s side.
The usual suspects, who so often secure points for Liverpool, fought the Spurs, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane fighting to make any impact and seeing the amount of chances they severely limited.
