LIVERPOOL, England (AP):
LIVERPOOL DREW with Tottenham 1-1 and went to the top of the English Premier League (EPL) on Saturday but handed Manchester City a chance to pull three points clear.
The end of a 12-match league winning run at Anfield dampened Liverpool’s bid for a quadruple of trophies.
City are at home to Newcastle today when the defending champion can regain first place and go three points ahead.
Son Heung-min’s close-range finish from Ryan Sessegnon’s pass put Tottenham ahead in the 56th minute.
Tottenham’s resolute defence was repelling Liverpool attacks until a shot from Luis Díaz outside the penalty area deflected off Rodrigo Bentancur and beat goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Despite Tottenham holding Liverpool for a second time this season, the point hurt their attempt to overhaul Arsenal in fourth place with three games to go.
Ahead of Thursday’s north London derby, Arsenal were a point ahead of Tottenham, and play Leeds today.
