Tottenham made no changes to their starting lineup from their 2-0 win over Man United. Meanwhile, centre-back Virgil Van Dijk started the match for the home side.
Right from the 3rd minute, Liverpool opened the scoring. A mistake from Eric Dier's pass opened up an opportunity for Mohamed Salah to escape and finish accurately diagonally.
Liverpool's high-level pressing tactic proved effective in the first half of the match. The Kop's attacking players actively approached, limiting Tottenham's ability to deploy the ball. Harry Kane has therefore had few touches and no land to show off his ability.
In addition, although the "Roosters" have a good ball possession rate, Liverpool is the one who controls the game, launching more shots. Tottenham's dangerous moves have created relatively few chances in this half. Notably, Dembele's long-range shot in the 40th minute was caught by Karius.
In the second half, the game gradually improved for coach Pochettino's team. Therefore, their opportunities came more, but Harry Kane's cuts in the 60th and 63rd minutes did not bring joy to Tottenham fans.
It was not until the 80th minute that the away team equalized. The ball bounced back after the red-handed defense's clearance and Victor Wanyama kicked the ball into the net.
About 6 minutes later, Harry Kane was fouled by Karius in the home team's penalty area. The referee still decided to award Tottenham a penalty even though Kane was offside.
However, the English striker shot the ball into the middle of the goal, making it easy for Karius to save the goal.
The drama was pushed up when Salah increased the score to 2-1 in the 90+1 minute. The Egyptian player skillfully handled the ball between the 3 white players before completing his own double.
In the final minutes of injury time, Lamela fell in Liverpool's 16m50 area despite Van Dijk's unclear impact. Referee Jon Moss continued the match but after consulting with the linesman, he gave the "Roosters" a second penalty. This time, Harry Kane did not miss the opportunity to bring home his 100th career goal in the Premier League.
With only a draw, Liverpool has 51 points after 26 rounds and is ranked 3rd in the Premier League rankings. Tottenham maintained 5th place with 49 points.
