Spurs and Reds split points in an electric, intense four-goal drama

We need some more of where that came from!

It has been one of the best games of the season so far, with Tottenham and Liverpool spliting points in a four-goal drama, embellished with a red card and an incredible set of goal-scoring chances on both sides.

The Reds came back from behind, but eventually failed to crush Spurs on their soil despite a 2-1 second-half lead. Before that, the visitors were on the ropes for most of the first half.

A sensational tempo and a dozen of splendid chances were seen at Londoner's arena with Harry Kane breaking his seven-month-long scoring hiatus in the EPL home games. The last time he netted before this fixture was way back in May, during the 2020/21 season.

Spurs captain finally shone in front of his fans tonight, breaking the deadlock shortly after the kick-off with a perfectly-executed shot in the bottom far corner.

The Reds were in shambles as Heung-min Son had a fantastic chance to double the lead, but a deplorable finishing prevented Spurs from a shocking early lead. If that was shocking, what shall we say about Dele Alli's sitter a few minutes later? Once-prodigious forward was left alone in the area with Alisson as the only man between him and the glory, but it was too much for Dele to score a vital goal.

Instead of Tottenham's two or even three-goal lead, the Scousers stood up, reconnected their lines and struck back soon enough.

A tiny Portuguese winger Diogo Jota jumped sky-high and tied the game at one ten minutes before the break. Moreover, Liverpool were close to entirely changing the game's momentum thanks to Alexander-Arnold's two powerful strikes, but Lloris was there to save it both times.

Upon returning from the break, the firework continued as Kane missed two more formidable chances in a single minute. Alli reacted sharply to Dier's long pass, but Alisson denied Kane's mild effort. After a corner-kick, the ball somehow ended on the strikers head, but it went inches wide of the crossbar.

The exquisite tempo soon declined, which seemed to fit Liverpool, which made a complete comeback. Alexander-Arnold hit the ball, which Robertson placed in the back of the net with an intelligent, low header.

The Reds were holding the keys of the game in their hands, but it slipped away in the span of just five minutes.

Firstly, Alisson made a horrible error, allowing Son to level the tie instead of clearing the ball on the edge of the box with 20 minutes left on the clock.

As if that knock-down was not enough, the scorer Robertson was shown a red card for a horrendous tackle on Emerson Royal. This makes him the first player to score, assist and be sent off in the same EPL after Aleksandar Mitrovic back in 2016.
