Luis Diaz salvaged a draw for Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur to send the Anfield side top of the Premier League on goal difference – but Jurgen Klopp’s men dropped vital points in the title race.
Son Heung-min converted Ryan Sessegnon’s cross to put Spurs in front with his 20th league goal this season.
But Diaz’s deflected effort beat Hugo Lloris to take Liverpool level on points with Manchester City.
The result takes Liverpool level on points with Manchester City and above them on goal difference at the top of the Premier League but City now have a game in hand, at home to Newcastle United on Sunday.
While not the victory they at one stage were on course for, the draw provides a useful point for Tottenham in their quest for a top-four place and a spot in next season’s Champions League.
Spurs remain fifth, now just a point behind Arsenal, who have a game in hand, ahead of Thursday’s eagerly anticipated North London Derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
