Liverpool: Harry Kane scored his 100th Premier League (PL) from the penalty spot in added on time to snatch a point for Tottenham Hotspur in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield here, Sunday.
Mohamed Salah capitalised on a mistake from Eric Dier to put Liverpool in front in the third minute, taking his tally to 20 league goals for the season.
Substitute Victor Wanyama thundered home an equaliser 10 minutes from time before Kane missed from the penalty spot in the 87th minute. In the most dramatic of finales, Salah thought he had won it in the 91st minute, only for Spurs to win another penalty which Kane converted to leave his team fifth in the table, two points behind third-placed Liverpool.
Defender Virgil van Dijk, returning to the Liverpool starting line-up, did a fine job of keeping an unchanged Spurs quiet for the majority of the first half.
Spurs improved after the break and almost equalised through Son Heung-min in the 58th minute, but Loris Karius stood tall to make the block.
The visitors equalised out of the blue when Wanyama thundered the ball into the net from distance before the drama unfolded.
Kane’s tame penalty was easily saved by Karius after the England striker had been felled in the box before Salah danced his way past two Spurs defenders and fired into the net to score what looked likely to be the winner.
However, the linesman spotted a foul by Van Dijk on substitute Erik Lamela in the box, giving Kane the chance to make amends and he duly converted salvage a point for his side.
“The softest touch in the whole game decides the game,” said a fuming Jurgen Klopp. “It is not a penalty, no doubt.”
