You know that we love posting the highlights here, and now that time has come.

I'm sure the Liverpool fans are long gone, so I don't have to tell them to scroll past this video.

But Spurs fans, watch away. Enjoy.

It wasn't all bad for Liverpool today. Yes, mostly, but not all.

The one positive was the performance of Rio Ngumoha - boy, was he brilliant this evening.

After seeing Max Dowman make history yesterday, the 17-year-old showed us that this country has two rising stars in the Premier League.

After a slow-ish start, Ngumoha became Liverpool's key outlet. He took on Pedro Porro over and over again, and just kept on beating him, time after time.

In fact, Ngumoha became the first player to attempt seven or more dribbles in a Premier League game and complete them all since Matheus Cunha for Wolves against Aston Villa in May 2023.

I get he is young, but I struggled to see why Arne Slot took him off. The youngster was by far and away Liverpool's biggest threat until the 60th minute. Once he came off, the chances dried up.

The lad has a bright future.

Well, maybe we spoke too soon on Igor Tudor.

The man isn't going anywhere just yet, especially after guiding Tottenham to a massive point at Anfield.

Many of us thought he should have been long gone before today's game, that Liverpool would rip apart his system and put the final nail in his coffin.

But no, Tudor switched things up, and finally got a positive result on the board.

Now, we can't get carried away; it's just one point. However, it's the first sign that maybe Tudor can get Spurs out of the mess they are in.

A massive result for him and Tottenham's survival hopes.

It's damning stat, after damning stat for Liverpool tonight.

The Reds have dropped seven points from winning positions at Anfield in the Premier League this season, their most since the 2016-17 campaign (also 7).

Anfield was a fortress last season, and of course before under Jurgen Klopp, but it's not like that these days.

I think today was one of the flattest atmospheres I have heard at the ground in all my years covering Liverpool.

The place has lost its sparkle.
