In Sunday’s 1-1 draw between Tottenham and Liverpool at Anfield, Richarlison saved the day with a goal in the closing seconds. The Brazilian striker was a pain in the ass for Liverpool’s defense and eventually scored the goal that his performance merited to give Tottenham, who were not playing well, some reprieve. Both teams chose a cautious lineup for the matchday 30 match after losing in the UCL midweek. Liverpool benched both Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike, while Spurs also benched Xavi Simmons. On minute eighteen, Dominik Szobszlai gave Liverpool the lead with a 25-yard free kick for 1-0, his fourth direct free kick goal of the season and a club record.Alisson stopped Richarlison’s headers, while Xavi Simmons also put the goalkeeper to the test as Igor Tudor’s team persisted in attacking the Reds and creating opportunities. After 90 minutes, the breakthrough came when a wayward header from Andy Robertson went to Randal Kolo Muani, who then set up Richarlison to slot home the equalizer, giving Spurs a valuable point. Tottenham’s streak of five straight league losses stopped with the draw, and they now sit in 16th position on the Premier League standings. Meanwhile, Liverpool is still in fifth place, two points behind Aston Villa in fourth.
