Late goals and Richarlison continue to be the scourge of Liverpool. Re-live a thrilling contest with the best facts and Opta data in our Liverpool vs Tottenham stats page.
Richarlison was the scourge of Liverpool once again as Tottenham earned a precious 1-1 draw at Anfield on Sunday in their bid to avoid relegation, with the Reds stunned by yet another late concession.
Liverpool looked to be heading third in the table thanks to Dominik Szoboszlai’s first-half free-kick, seemingly doing just about enough despite Tottenham arguably looking the more threatening team for long stretches.
But Richarlison equalised in the 90th minute, earned Tottenham a deserved share of the spoils and a first point in charge for beleaguered interim manager Igor Tudor, upon whom pressure had been mounting.
It was Richarlison’s fifth Premier League goal against Liverpool at Anfield, a tally only Andrew Cole (eight) has bettered, and the point provides a modicum of optimism for a Tottenham side who’d looked as though they were sleepwalking towards relegation.
Goalkeeping woes had been a major factor in Tottenham’s midweek Champions League loss to Atlético Madrid, and it was hard to ignore Guglielmo Vicario’s role when Liverpool took the lead in the 18th minute.
The Reds were given a free-kick about 30 yards from goal and, despite his effort not being anywhere near the corners of the net, Szoboszlai’s shot went in via the hand of Vicario.
It was Szoboszlai’s fourth goal direct from a free-kick in the Premier League this season, a figure only two players have ever bettered in a single PL campaign.
Vicario did make something of an amends later in the half, tipping Cody Gakpo’s goal-bound effort onto the post.
Tottenham weren’t being outclassed as many might have expected given their recent issues, however.
They ended the first half reasonably well and went close twice through Richarlison headers, the first going agonisingly wide and the second forcing Alisson into a necessary save.
Nevertheless, the omens weren’t great for Spurs at the break – from the previous 13 instances of them trailing at half-time away to Liverpool in the Premier League, they’d only avoided defeat twice.
Liverpool struggled to increase their advantage, however, even with Rio Ngumoha’s best efforts.
The teenager, who became Liverpool’s fourth-youngest starter in the Premier League (17 years, 198 days), gave Pedro Porro a torrid time and probably should have made it 2-0 when cutting onto his right foot in the area and failing to curl his effort home in the 51st minute.
Shortly after he tested Vicario from just outside the box.
Spurs retained a sporadic threat, mostly through Richarlison, who again forced a good stop from Alisson just before – and just after – the hour mark.
At the other end, Mohamed Salah looked lively off the bench, but in the latter stages Spurs looked the likeliest to find the net.
And they did.
In the 90th minute, Randal Kolo Muani did brilliantly to bundle his way into the Liverpool area and tee up Richarlison for the simplest of finishes into the bottom-left corner.
It was Liverpool’s eighth goal concession in the 90th minute or later this season, their most in a single Premier League campaign, and as such not the most unexpected collapse you’re likely to see.
