Tottenham striker Harry Kane scores an injury-time penalty equaliser – his 100th Premier League goal – in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield yesterday.

-

Harry Kane’s 100th Premier League goal rescued a point for Tottenham in a 2-2 draw at Liverpool with an added-time penalty after the striker had missed from the spot moments earlier.

In a dramatic finish the Premier League’s top scorer took his tally to 22 with virtually the last kick of the game after the visitors’ second controvers­ially-awarded penalty in the final 10 minutes.

After Kane’s missed effort Liverpool thought they had snatched victory when Mohamed Salah scored an individual­ly brilliant goal – his second of the game – with the clock well past 90 minutes only for Spurs’ England internatio­nal to take his second chance.

In an enthrallin­g game substitute Victor Wanyama had sparked the turnaround with a ferocious drive seconds after coming on.

It left the race for the top four exactly where it was with third-placed Liverpool two points ahead of their rivals, in fifth.

Newcastle resisted intense pressure from Crystal Palace to earn a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park that again took them clear of the bottom three.

They remain 16th but at kickoff had been level on 24 points with 19th-placed Huddersfie­ld, Stoke and Swansea.

Mohamed Diame’s first-half finish then took them into contention for victory against a rival for relegation, but Luka Milivojevi­c’s penalty instead earned the hosts a point that took them back up to 14th.

Alexis Sanchez scored his first Manchester United goal in a 2-0 win over Huddersfie­ld at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Leaders Manchester City had earlier been held to a 1-1 draw at Burnley but, despite United’s victory, are still 13 points clear.

Aaron Ramsey hit a hat-trick with Arsenal fans treated to their first showing of their January transfers in tandem as both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang shone in a comfortabl­e 5-1 win over Everton.

It was Ramsey’s first career hat-trick with the Gunners.
