Liverpool vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Reds drop crucial points

Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham: Follow reaction from Anfield as the Redscan only draw with Spurs

Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp hails players as ‘mentality monsters’ show up vs Villarreal

Tottenham blew a huge hole in Liverpool’s Premier League - and quadruple - hopes as Son Heung-min’s 20th goal of the season earned them a 1-1 draw at Anfield to gift the advantage to Manchester City.

Despite Luis Diaz’s 74th-minute equaliser and manager Jurgen Klopp going for broke, knowing he had no other option, the hosts now require their title rivals to lose one of their four remaining matches.

Even though the point took Liverpool top of the table, it was only courtesy of a superior goal difference of one and Pep Guardiola’s side will go three points clear with a win at home to Newcastle on Sunday.

The draw did little for Spurs’ top-four hopes either as they remain a point behind north London rivals Arsenal, who host struggling Leeds a couple of hours before City kick off.

Liverpool 0 - 1 Tottenham

68 mins: Chance! Tottenham have plenty of men back to defend making it hard for Liverpool to create a clear chance at goal. Kostas Tsimikas whips the ball into the box from the left and finds Luis Diaz but he’s penned in by two defenders and can only head the ball wide of goal.

GOAL! Liverpool 0 - 1 Tottenham (Son, 56’)⚽️

56 mins: Huge goal! It’s beautifully worked by Spurs as Hugo Lloris fires the ball over to Emerson Royal. He attempts to flick the ball over the top and picks out Harry Kane. Kane holds the ball up and brings it to the edge of the box. Ryan Sessegnon comes sprinting into space on the left side and Kane sends him the ball, he squares it into the six yard area where Son Heung-min is wide open for a tap in!

54 mins: Chance! Mo Salah is brought down by Ben Davies who picks up a yellow card. The Liverpool free kick is easily defended and Tottenham send Son Heung-min flying up the pitch on the counter-attack. He’s got Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski to his right but Son goes it alone and sees his effort blocked by a back tracking Andy Robertson.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Tottenham

48 mins: Hugo Lloris breathes a sigh of relief as he throws the ball straight to Mo Salah whose chip into the box is cleared by Eric Dier. It was a mistake from the Spurs goalkeeper but Liverpool fail to capitalise on it.

Jordan Henderson then makes a run into the right side of the box and Thiago Alcantara picks him out with a diagonal pass. Henderson cuts the ball back into the middle of the box but can’t find a teammate and Spurs boot it out for a corner.

Second half: Liverpool 0 - 0 Tottenham

Kick off: No changes made by either manager at half-time as Liverpool get the match back underway. Ibrahima Konate fires the ball over to Sadio Mane who loses the ball to Emerson Royal in the air.

Liverpool 0 - 0 Tottenham

A draw here would put Liverpool level on points with Manchester City but they will have played a game more than the Premier League leaders who face Newcastle tomorrow. Liverpool know any dropped points could be fatal for their title hopes.
