Tottenham Hotspur rescued a crucial point in their battle for survival, grinding out a dramatic 1–1 draw away at Anfield against Liverpool. The result could prove pivotal for Igor Tudor’s side, who were under immense pressure after relegation rivals West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United had all picked up points earlier in the round.

Liverpool appeared to be in control for much of the evening. The breakthrough came through Dominik Szoboszlai, who produced a magnificent free-kick to give the hosts the lead. The Reds had opportunities to put the game beyond doubt, but Cody Gakpo saw his effort crash against the woodwork.

That miss proved costly. With the match entering its final moments, Liverpool lost their concentration — and Tottenham punished them. In the 90th minute, former Everton forward Richarlison struck to silence the stadium, converting a late chance to earn a priceless point for the visitors.

The drama almost escalated further in stoppage time. Hugo Ekitike burst forward on a lightning counter-attack and had the opportunity to complete a stunning turnaround, but failed to convert the chance.
