It was open, end to end, frenetic and two high pressing teams going hell for leather to get 3 points.
Spurs started brightly, Pochettino was twice told to get back in his technical area rather than standing on the pitch and Klopp looked like a guilty serial killer. All a great game but for Spurs perhaps not good enough.
Only time can answer that question but if Leicester lose tomorrow the point will look better.
Kane had 2 glorious chances in the first half but on both occasions was unusually hesitant. The first chance he was through and with 2 joining him he seemed unsure whether to shoot or pass and ended up doing neither. His second was perhaps harder but again he hesitated and the shot was easily blocked. It felt like it was one of those days coming.
Liverpool had their chances though and Lloris was in superb form and had it not been for him we could have been staring down the barrel. Then again, Mignolet was in fine form too and in reality it could have been 4-4 come full time.
Our tough defence looked a little shaky today and I was concerned by how many times Liverpool has shots with no defender nearby. Pochettino in the first half was also aware of this and raged at his centre backs on more than one occasion.
The scores were level at half time and it felt like Spurs were perhaps lucky to go in on parity as Liverpool ended the first half at full tilt.
Pochettino served a few rockets at half time and for the first 5 minutes Spurs were full steam ahead. Then a minute later Liverpool were ahead through Coutinho. It was a neatly worked goal from Liverpool’s point of view but far too easy from Spurs point of view with no closing down allowing Coutinho the sort of space you just cannot afford him.
From the restart, Spurs knew they had to get back into the game but Mignolet seemed eager to stop every attempt whether it be from Alli or Dembele.
Eventually though Eriksen collected the ball on the left and knocked it back to Kane who, back to goal, turned and fired home, Klinnsmann-esque. It was all level.
