Spurs Surpassing Record: 'Unbeatable' Victory Beats Previous Longest-Playing Match by 20 Years!
[Getty Images] Spurs and interim head coach Igor Tudor – however long he may last – can take huge encouragement from both the performance and result at Anfield. Tudor arrived at Anfield surrounded by speculation about his future after four dismal losses, the last little short of a fiasco at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. But missing 13 players, they fully merited the draw as they were spirited and dangerous throughout.
Richarlison led the line superbly, giving Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez a torrid time in tandem with Dominic Solanke. He had tested Liverpool keeper Alisson several times before finally beating his Brazil colleague with a scuffed finish after Randal Kolo Muani had outmuscled Van Dijk in the final minute of normal time. The big question is whether Spurs can now build on the platform this fine display has provided.
They face a mammoth task to over-turn a 5-2 deficit from the Champions League last-16 first leg against Atletico Madrid before a vital game at home to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest. Spurs have reached the stage where every point is priceless – and no-one could possibly begrudge them this one.
