Michael Owen gives mixed verdict on Liverpool front three after damaging Tottenham draw

Michael Owen admitted Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane were "very quiet" as Liverpool were held to a draw by Tottenham to damage their Premier League title chances.

But the former Anfield prodigy was more upbeat about Luis Diaz, who scored the important equaliser as the Reds came from behind in the 1-1 stalemate on Saturday night. The Colombian unleashed a powerful effort from outside the area which deflected off Rodrigo Bentancur to draw the hosts level at Anfield following Son Heung-min's opener.

It marked Diaz's sixth goal for Liverpool since he arrived from Porto for £50million in the January transfer window and he has quickly established himself as a fan favourite with his electric displays. However, there was nothing electric about the performances of his forward colleagues, Salah and Mane, who failed to trouble Spurs despite boasting 51 goals between them this season.
