Having delivered a masterclass against Manchester City in February to seal a stunning stoppage-time win at the Etihad Stadium, Tottenham came oh so close to inflicting even more misery on the Premier League's best on Saturday evening. Making the trip to Anfield to take on Jurgen Klopp's Champions League finalists, Antonio Conte's men looked on course for another famous victory until Luis Diaz struck 16 minutes from time.
Leading courtesy of Son Heung-min's simple finish after a swift break, Liverpool had upped the pressure on the Lilywhites but Hugo Lloris had very little to do in front of the Kop until he had to pick the ball out of his net. With Spurs having plenty of numbers in their own box as they looked to ensure there was no way through for the Reds, Diaz's strike from outside the area deflected off Rodrigo Bentancur and unfortunately found its way into the bottom corner.
Looking like there was only going to be one winner after that with Liverpool pushing for maximum points in their title challenge, Spurs should have won it at the death with the unmarked Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg choosing to head the ball to Harry Kane rather than going for goal from point-blank range. Whether that decision proves costly or not will be determined at the end of the season.
