Top four rivals Liverpool and Spurs played out a thoroughly entertaining 2-2 draw yesterday evening at Anfield. Let’s see how the players rated …
Liverpool
Karius 6
Made a couple of decent stops and read Kane’s intentions for the first penalty save, still never quite convinces though.
Alexander-Arnold 8
One of his sides best players, defended well and put in some top class crosses.
Lovren 6
A big improvement on the last time he played Spurs, but horribly miscued a clearance that lead to the first penalty.
van Dijk 6
Calm and composed at the back for the most part, however it was his last minute foul on Lamela that cost his side victory.
Robertson 6
Had his work cut out dealing with the marauding Trippier. A little sloppy in possession at times.
Can 7
Like most of him team-mates, played well in the first-half but faded as the game went on.
Henderson 7
Solid enough, still working his way back to full fitness.
Milner 7
Got through a mountain of work as always.
Salah 9 ( MOTM )
Superb. Scored his sides two goals with two clinical finishes.
Firmino
A quiet enough day for the classy Brazilian, pressed well however.
Mané
Not for the first time this season his final ball was poor.
Substitutes
Oxlade-Chamberlain 4
Terrible. Looked lackadaisical both in possession and tactically after his introduction.
Wijnaldum 5
Failed to plug the gaps that Spurs had started to exploit between the lines.
Matip N/A
No impact.
Spurs
Lloris 6
Distribution a little shaky and maybe could have done a bit better with Salah’s second goal.
Trippier 7
Got forward as much as possible and put in some fine crosses.
Sánchez 3
Had a nightmare. Shaky defensively and in possession.
Vertonghen 8
Defended brilliantly at times, and covered for the unpredictable Sanchez superbly.
Davies 7
Put in his usual solid shift, had a decent battle with Alexander-Arnold.
Dier 5
His error lead to Liverpool’s opener, and coughed up possession a little to easily at times.
Dembélé 8
His ability to beat a man in the middle of park is such a huge asset for his side.
Son Heung-min 6
Looked dangerous at times, but struggled to impose himself on the game.
Eriksen 7
Got stronger and stronger as the game went on, a master at finding space in between the lines.
Alli 4
Not for the first time this season booked for a disgraceful dive. Has massive amounts of talent, but needs to curb his dick like behaviour.
Kane 6
Held his nerve to score the last minute penalty and net his 100th Premier League goal. However, it was a quite game for the leagues best striker apart from that, and his miss with the first penalty was very poor.
Substitues
Lamela 7
Won the all important last minute penalty.
Wanyama 8
Scored an absolute screamer just a couple of minutes after his introduction.
Llorente N/A
No impact.
