Liverpool's title hopes rocked by Tottenham despite Luis Diaz leveller - 5 talking points

Luis Diaz rescued a point for Liverpool but their title ambitions were rocked with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham on Saturday evening.

Son Heung-min fired Spurs into the lead in the 56th minute following a lively but goalless first half before Diaz drew the Reds level with a strike from range which took a wicked deflection off Rodrigo Bentancur to leave Hugo Lloris stranded. Liverpool dominated possession and had the lion's share of the chances but struggled to break down their stubborn visitors, who defended in numbers and with vigour.

The result could prove to be a hugely damaging one as Jurgen Klopp's side bid to win the title, as it leaves them top of the Premier League table only on goal difference and they will find themselves three points behind Manchester City if they defeat Newcastle on Sunday. Tottenham, meanwhile, picked up a valuable point in their bid to finish in the top four.
