Liverpool 2-2 Tottenham: Harry Kane atones for late penalty miss with last-gasp spot-kick to earn draw after Mo Salah looked to have secured victory with fine injury-time goal in incredible Anfield finale


Harry Kane scored a dramatic last-gasp penalty for Tottenham to seal a point against Liverpool in an incredible finale at Anfield.

Mo Salah opened scoring for Liverpool in third minute after latching on to Eric Dier's mis-placed pass, and there were few other chances between the teams in the first half.

Spurs finally found equaliser in 80th minute when Victor Wanyama's thunderbolt left Karius with no chance but the visitors later had a great chance to take the lead - but Kane's poor effort was saved.

And Liverpool then thought that had the win when Salah scored a fine solo goal but there was to be more drama. Virgil van Dijk fouled Erik Lamela and Kane this time found the back of the net from the spot.
