The game could have been Liverpool's but for this controversial decision in the dying embers of the game
#3 A point that means 2 things to 2 teams

A point a piece
Liverpool would feel disappointed for having let go of 2 points at home. They failed to exact revenge on Pochettino's men for the thrashing they received at Wembley. They'd be all the more gutted due to the fashion in which it unfurled.

Tottenham, on the other hand, will feel relieved about that point. For the first 45 minutes, it looked as though Liverpool would run away with it. But they turned on the heat in the second half and took the game to Salah and co. They pushed Liverpool back into their own half and could have even taken the lead had Kane converted from the spot.
But Lorius saved his shot and Salah's goal in the 90th minute should have been the last highlight of the game. But kudos to the Lilywhites for not giving up the fight.
Though they would've loved to walk away with the point on a better note, it's still a point they will comfortably pack in their backpack.
