Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: Couthino comes close to a late winner, but it is just wide. Still feels like there might be a late goal in this one.
Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: We're approaching the end of normal time, as Spurs have a free kick just outside the area, but Eriksen fires it wide. Wasted opportunity.
Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: Three minutes to be added on, Spurs have a corner. They can't convert from it though. Meanwhile Milner is going off and Jordan Ibe is coming on for Liverpool.
FULL TIMELiverpool 1 Tottenham 1 - Probably a fair result in the end although both sides could have scored a couple more. Tottenham can't make up any substantial ground on Leicester.
