In an electrifying classic, Tottenham and Liverpool draw for the Premier League

Tottenham and Liverpool provided a great football game this Sunday afternoon, for the 18th round of the Premier League. The teams tied 2-2 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

The visitors started the first stage controlling possession of the ball and trying to squeeze, but who ended up coming out ahead were the hosts. With just 12 minutes, Kane was fired in depth and hit cross to open the score.

Afterwards, the Reds intensified the pressure, leaving room for the Spurs’ counterattacks. At 15, Son appeared alone after Kane’s cross, but he caught the ball badly and sent it to the side. At 29, Alisson’s star shone. Dele Alli received a free kick from the penalty spot and tried to hit the corner, but saw the Brazilian goalkeeper stretch all the way to send it to a corner.

And the lost opportunities turned out to be costly. That’s because, with 34 minutes, Liverpool finally managed to turn their possession of the ball into a real chance. Robertson went to the bottom line and crossed to Diogo Jota, who tested with precision to make everything the same. At 42, almost came the turn. Arnold received a good cross and knocked to Lloris’s great save with his knee.

In the second half, the game continued frantic. With the clock ticking nine minutes, Dele Alli went right in front of the goal and played aside for Kane, who hit the first time. Attentive, Alisson threw herself in front of the attacker to block the shot. In the next move, the center forward had one more chance, this time with a header that went over the top.

At 23, the Reds once again showed their efficiency. After confusion in the area, Arnold picked up the leftover and crossed it accurately on the head of Robertson, who only had the job of completing to the back of the net and stepping out for the hug.

The joy of the visitors, however, was short-lived. Five minutes later, Son received in depth and had a jab from Alisson to play for the empty goal and equalize. And the try heated up the mood in London. At 31, Robertson kicked Emerson Royal and was sent off.

With one more man, the Spurs sought to tighten in the last few minutes, but it wasn’t enough to take the tie off the scoreboard.

With the result, Liverpool saw Manchester City open up on the edge. Klopp’s side are second with 41 points, three less than the Citizens, who beat Newcastle this morning. Tottenham is in seventh, with 26.
