Tottenham were a match for Premier League champions Liverpool and after missing a collection of chances, the former Everton forward Richarlison became the most unpopular of villains.After Guglielmo Vicario failed to keep out a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, it felt like a Liverpool victory was inevitable but they failed to build on the opener. Tudor was planning for a familiar feeling at the final whistle until Richarlison netted a deserved equaliser and what he will hope is a foundation to build on.Tudor had kept his job for another weekend despite the desperate performances and situation the club he inexplicably coaches finds themselves in.

Tottenham were on the back foot, struggling to cope with what Liverpool had to offer but Vicario offered a reminder of why he is first choice, producing a fine diving save on to the post to prevent a Cody Gakpo drive doubling the lead.Tottenham dropped very deep whenever Liverpool earned possession, inviting them to find a path through their yellow wall. He received a booking for questioning Chris Kavanagh’s decision to not book Ngumoha for diving after the winger made the most of contact in the box.The Liverpool fans were more happy to see Ngumoha’s fearless play.

He had two chances early in the second half, firing one well wide and the other too close to Vicario but he was certainly justifying Slot’s faith in him. They were right to be concerned as Richarlison eventually found the equaliser that had previously eluded him in the 90th minute, scuffing the ball into the corner to wrongfoot Alisson, to give Liverpool fans a familiar feeling of not killing off a game, while Tottenham supporters were reminded that football can be enjoyable.
