Liverpool drop points, now lead points table

London: Liverpool moved top of the Premier League but dropped two precious points in the title race with Manchester City as they drew1-1 against a resilient Tottenham Hotspur side at Anfield.

Son Heung-min swept the counter-attacking visitors in front after 56 minutes following a link-up between Harry Kane and Ryan Sessegnon and with the Liverpool defence disorganised.

Liverpool naturally flooded forward for an equaliser and it took a heavily deflected shot from Luis Diaz 16 minutes from time to draw the home side level and set up a grandstand finish.

Spurs defended with resolution after the equaliser though and were also a threat on the break as they battled to take something from the game to aid their top-four challenge.

The point takes Liverpool top on goal difference but Pep Guardiola’s side can move three points clear with three games remaining if they defeat Newcastle United this morning.

Results: Brentford 3-1 Soutmapton, Burnley 1-3 Aston Villa, Chelsea 2-2 Wolves, Crystal Palace 1-1Watforf, Brighton 4-0 Man United, Liverpool 1-1 Tottenham.
