Liverpool 2 Tottenham 2: Harry Kane rescues point after late penalty controversy

JURGEN KLOPP could not hide his fury after Harry Kane earned Tottenham a draw in the most dramatic of games.

Late drama allowed Harry Kane to atone for an early penalty miss

He applauded sarcastically as he looked down the touchline he had just galloped along moments earlier, celebrating Mohamed Salah’s second goal that appeared to have won the game for Liverpool.

The Kop manager’s ecstasy turned to anger in the space of two mad minutes of football from an enthralling game.

Salah had just waltzed through the Tottenham defence to score a wonderful goal fit to win any match.

And the Kop was still rocking as Erik Lamela collapsed to the ground in the Reds area after coming together with Virgil van Dijk.

Referee Jon Moss waved away appeals from the Spurs players for a penalty and the game resumed momentarily until the official noticed his assistant, Edward Smart, had his flag raised.

He pointed to the spot, then went to discuss the decision with Smart before confirming he had indeed awarded Tottenham a second spot kick.

Having missed an earlier penalty, Kane smashed the stoppage-time spot kick into the bottom corner and Anfield went from a sea of joy to an angry pit.

It was a fascinating match decided by two moments of magic from Salah, two controversial decisions, a missed penalty and a spot kick scored.

Oh, and a wonder strike from Victor Wanyama that will be criminally overlooked after all the drama of how the game ended.

Amid the madness, it is also an example of why both are miles behind Manchester City as, while it was exciting, it was also error-strewn.

The match started with a mistake as Liverpool took a third-minute lead after Eric Dier slotted Salah in by mistake and the Egyptian ace calmly sent Hugo Lloris the wrong way to find the bottom corner.

Mohamed Salah scored late in extra-time, but it was not enough

Kop keeper Loris Karius was called upon after the break when he raced out to block Heung-Min Son before Dele Alli was booked for diving.

Tottenham had a lot of the ball but were not really creating chances and looked liked they had just run out of ideas when up stepped Wanyama in the 80th minute.

The Kenyan midfielder had just come on for Mousa Dembele, who had been running the game, when he sprinted past a flat-footed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to get to Karius’ poor punch.

Then with a swing of his boot he swirled the ball into the top corner at a thunderous pace. Four minutes later Kane was down in the area after Karius rushed out.

The contact was minimal, which was enough for a debate, but there was also the fact that the Spurs striker was in an offside position when Alli played the ball through.

Dejan Lovren got a touch as he tried to intercept the pass which, much to Liverpool’s anger, meant the assistant did not raise his flag - but even Klopp and Pochettino could not agree on the rule.

Kane then missed the penalty with an appalling spot kick that was easy to save for Karius.

Just as it looked like the game would fizzle out, Salah stepped up with a goal that former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher rightly said only the Egyptian and Lionel Messi would score.

Salah swivelled to beat Ben Davies then turned Jan Vertonghen before lifting the ball over Lloris from the tightest of angles in the 91st minute.

Klopp charged down the touchline roaring at the celebrating Kop as he beat his the badge on his chest.

But there the joy was short lived as Tottenham desperately tried to get an equaliser. It came after Lamela backed into Van Dijk, as the Dutchman tried to take his hanging leg away in the third minute of stoppage time.

The assistant thought differently though, and it was one that on most days would not be given. There was no mistake from Kane this time from 12 yards and he raced away in celebration at a very angry Anfield.

The contact was minimal, which was enough for a debate, but there was also the fact that the Spurs striker was in an offside position when Alli played the ball through.

Dejan Lovren got a touch as he tried to intercept the pass which, much to Liverpool’s anger, meant the assistant did not raise his flag - but even Klopp and Pochettino could not agree on the rule.

Kane then missed the penalty with an appalling spot kick that was easy to save for Karius.

Just as it looked like the game would fizzle out, Salah stepped up with a goal that former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher rightly said only the Egyptian and Lionel Messi would score.

Salah swivelled to beat Ben Davies then turned Jan Vertonghen before lifting the ball over Lloris from the tightest of angles in the 91st minute.

Klopp charged down the touchline roaring at the celebrating Kop as he beat his the badge on his chest.

But there the joy was short lived as Tottenham desperately tried to get an equaliser. It came after Lamela backed into Van Dijk, as the Dutchman tried to take his hanging leg away in the third minute of stoppage time.

The assistant thought differently though, and it was one that on most days would not be given. There was no mistake from Kane this time from 12 yards and he raced away in celebration at a very angry Anfield.
