This time to Richarlison in a 1-1 draw against struggling Tottenham that cost them a chance to go fourth in the table. And don't the players - who were booed off by their fans at full-time - know it. "I feel flat," said Dominik Szoboszlai - who scored the Reds' 18th-minute opener - on Sky Sports.

"We have to wake up because if we carry on like this, we should be happy with the Conference League. I don't know why this is happening, I honestly don't know. "In the last minute, again, I don't know how many times this season already.

" Liverpool have now conceded eight Premier League goals in the 90th minute or later this season - their most in a single campaign, surpassing seven in 2010-11. Every single one has cost them points. Why is this happening and how much could it cost them at the end of the season?

How Spurs going direct gave Liverpool "big problems" In over a quarter of their Premier League games this season, Liverpool have conceded either an equaliser or a losing goal after the 90-minute mark. Five have been winning goals as they were beaten by Crystal Palace , Chelsea , Bournemouth , Manchester City and Wolves . Three have been draws - against Leeds , Fulham and now Tottenham , although that Fulham game had seen the Reds take a 2-1 lead in the fourth minute of injury time themselves before conceding three minutes later.
