Richarlison rescues late point for Spurs at Liverpool to ease pressure on Tudor

Igor Tudor has been unable to claim many positives in his short Tottenham reign but he has finally earned the first point of his tenure. Spurs were a match for the Premier League champions and, after missing a collection of chances, the former Everton forward Richarlison became the most unpopular of villains.

After Guglielmo Vicario failed to keep out a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, it felt as if a Liverpool victory was inevitable but they could not build on the opener, a frequent shortcoming. Tudor was planning for a familiar feeling at the final whistle until Richarlison fittingly scored with a scuffed effort at the end of a match short on quality. It was the Brazilian’s sixth clear-cut chance, with the previous misses giving the expectation that Tottenham were set for a familiar feeling.
