A 1-1 draw against Liverpool flattered Tottenham on Saturday. For much of the game Spurs looked short of commitment and lacking in ideas and the visitors went ahead from the penalty spot just before the break when Erik Lamela was adjudged to have brought down Roberto Firmino in the box.
For much of the second half Liverpool looked likely to increase their lead; Joel Matip went close from a corner and Sadio Mane had an effort ruled out for offside. Tottenham's equaliser came against the run of play in the 72nd minute when Danny Rose did well to drive home an Eric Dier cross.
