Manchester City ‘s 4-0 victory at Newcastle earlier mean Liverpool could not top the league at Christmas for the first time in four years, with Jurgen Klopp ‘s slope now three points adrift.

Harry Kane ended his Premier League goal drought when he found the bottom corner from Tanguy Ndombele ‘s pass but Spurs wasted a issue of opportunities to double their leash. Diogo Jota made the hosts pay on 35 minutes by heading in a cross from Robertson, who had missed a golden gamble of his own in the opening 70 seconds. Robertson then headed the Reds in front in the second half lone for Son Heung-min to level after a err by Alisson four minutes late in an exposed and frantic game. Liverpool left-back Robertson had been excellent but was sent off for a heedless hack on Emerson Royal, a decision given after Paul Tierney reviewed the decisiveness on the pitch-side monitor. The pull back extends Antonio Conte ‘s unbeaten league start at Tottenham to five games, though his side stay seventh with games in hand on those above them .

High drama after troubled week

Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Liverpool: Kane tackle ‘a clear red card’ – Klopp On a weekend of depleted Premier League action, these sides served up a electrifying encounter packed with drama at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both faced Covid-related interruptions to their own preparations and Klopp said beforehand the managers had no idea which players would be available until the dawn of the game. Tottenham had to close their first-team train adeptness for three days last workweek and have had three games in five days postponed, despite travelling to Leicester on Thursday, something Conte said had affected his police squad ‘s morale. Nine Spurs players tested positive during the past fortnight, adenine well as staff and under-23s, meaning Conte was unable to implement his common meticulous tactical plans and had to resort to mannequins as opposition, but it was Liverpool ‘s refutation looking static as the hosts opened them up in north London. Ndombele, making his beginning league begin under Conte, showed his undoubted quality with a wonderfully leaden sink for Kane that the England captain swept into the far corner for alone his moment finish in the Premier League this season and first in seven games. Conte has called Kane “ one of the best I ‘ve had the pleasure to train ” and the 28-year-old about set up a second moments subsequently, though Son could not turn his intersect into the net. The south korean invade another Kane passing to allow Alisson to smother before Kane then dived in on Robertson and was possibly fortunate to entirely receive a chicken wag – a decision brought further into focus by Robertson ‘s own sending-off. For all Liverpool ‘s pressure, Tottenham could have been out of spy with Dele Alli – another awarded a probability by Conte – the next to fail to convert a brilliant casual from Son ‘s apt pass, although Alisson got a full of life fingertip to his campaign .Diogo Jota scored his 10th Premier League goal of the seasonDiogo Jota scored his 10th Premier League goal of the season Liverpool were besides missing a issue of key players, with Virgil vanguard Dijk, Fabinho and Thiago among those absent following positive Covid tests, while Jordan Henderson had a cold, allowing a first Premier League starting signal for 19-year-old Tyler Morton, who was 10 days erstwhile when midfielder partner James Milner made his league debut in 2002. Klopp could silent call on his flying full-backs though and Robertson, after nodding wide from Trent Alexander-Arnold ‘s smart ball in the moment hour, picked out Jota who steered an excellent header beyond Hugo Lloris for his 10th Premier League goal of the season. The Reds party boss was angry Jota was not awarded a penalty following a bungling challenge by Royal but the German will besides have been frustrated by his side ‘s cover failure to deal with the Spurs menace after the break. The visitors lone survived going behind when Alli sold Kane short for a tap-in, allowing Alisson to make a decisive spare, before Kane headed over from close range .Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Liverpool: Conte ‘disappointed’ with draw despite ‘exciting’ game In a sequence that summed up the game, Spurs thought they should have had a punishment at one end only for Robertson to head in Alexander-Arnold ‘s cross from cheeseparing range at the early. Son then pounced on Alisson ‘s error to roll into an empty internet before Scotland international Robertson ‘s kick on Royal was upgraded to a crimson batting order following referee Tierney ‘s review. Amid the lunacy, Tottenham did stop Mohamed Salah scoring or assisting for what would have been a commemorate 16th consecutive game. And while second-placed Liverpool may have slipped further behind leaders City, the Reds ‘ impressive form continues and they have now lost barely once in the by 35 games in all competitions. Klopp ‘s english besides scored their fiftieth Premier League goal of the season in what is their eighteenth match, reaching that landmark faster than in any other previous top-flight campaign . player of the match son Heung-MinSon Heung-Min
