Liverpool drew 1-1 with Tottenham at Anfield today. 1 point from this match has put Manchester City at the top of the points list for the time being. Liverpool are at the top of goal difference despite getting 63 points equal to City. But City has played less than one match. Pep Guardiola’s side will be ahead by 3 points if they lose to Newcastle tomorrow.
Tottenham kept their dream of playing in the Champions League alive by getting 1 point from this match. Despite playing one match more than fourth-placed Arsenal, the team is currently one point behind.
The first goal of the match was scored by Tottenham, not Liverpool, who dominated the whole match. Son Hyung-Min’s goal in the 57th minute, Liverpool got 1 point courtesy of Luis Diaz.
Diaz replaced Liverpool in the second half of the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. The Colombian winger is still the savior of the team. At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool scored a goal against the flow of the game and Diaz’s goal came back to equalize.
The age of the match was 74 minutes. Despite the fear of falling behind in the title race, the pressure did not loosen Liverpool. The goal is the result of that pressure. Diaz took a shot from outside the penalty box, which hit Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and went into the net. If Bentankur hadn’t been on his feet, Loris might have tried a little to save the goal.
Liverpool didn’t score despite putting Tottenham under pressure for the rest of the season. Liverpool could have scored a full three points if Mohamed Salah Sanchez had not crossed the crossbar at the last minute of regulation time.
Liverpool, who had been busy attacking Tottenham’s defense after the attack, scored a goal in the 58th minute. Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Loris finds Harry Kane in the middle of a long pass. The English striker, who went ahead without any obstacles, got the pass to Ryan Sessegnon at the left end. The 21-year-old winger slowly extended the pass to Son Hyung-min, who came forward from the right. The South Korean winger made no mistake in scoring from close range.
Earlier, Liverpool dominated the goalless first half. The hosts could have gone ahead in 39 minutes. From the corner of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil von Dyke’s head touches the crossbar and leaves. Four minutes later, Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Loris saved Luis Diaz’s shot from outside the penalty box.
Tottenham almost got the goal in the counter attack. Pierre-Emil Hibia took shots from far outside the box, and the shot went off the left post.
