EOL REVIEW- TOTTENHAM 1 LIVERPOOL 1- WASTEFUL LIVERPOOL DROP POINTS AGAIN

The outcome may have been the same but this time, as the Liverpool bus inched through the crane-scape and on to Tottenham High Road, Jurgen Klopp could feel the anguish of dropped points churning inside.
‘It feels worse,’ conceded Klopp, who began his career in England with a goalless draw in this fixture last October. ‘Simon Mignolet saved our lives last time. This time he made one brilliant save.’
This time, it was Michel Vorm performing heroics for Spurs with a series of saves and Danny Rose charging forward from left back to grab a late equaliser Mauricio Pochettino’s team hardly deserved.

Liverpool's big money summer signing Sadio Mane had an eventful game at White Hart Lane, covering plenty of ground, seeing a goal ruled out and being booked to boot. For more heat maps and stats, visit our MATCH ZONE

Klopp was philosophical about the result but his true feelings wriggled free when he was informed Sadio Mane’s ‘goal’, ruled offside, looked to be fair when scrutinised with the help of slow-motion replays.
‘Not too cool,’ he said, rocking back in his seat, hands on head, contemplating the ceiling. ‘But it happened. It was a brilliant goal, no?’
In fairness, it was; a blistering counter-attack launched by Georginio Wijnaldum but a flag went up against Adam Lallana as he delivered a square pass to Mane, who lashed the ball into the net.
That exhilarating passage of play epitomised Liverpool. They were explosive and destructive on the break, tearing through Spurs and yet unable to convert any of the many clear chances they created.
