A draw. At long last, Igor Tudor has his first point in charge of Tottenham Hotspur.
This has been a dark week for Spurs, a really dark week, and that's putting it lightly. That defeat to Atletico Madrid last Tuesday was riddled with errors and it marked the nadir of their recent history.
The Lilywhites had lost six games on the spin for the first time in the entire club's history but they finally showed some fight when they travelled to Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Through Richarlison, Tudor's men rescued a point as the Brazilian bundled the ball home after good work from substitute Randal Kolo Muani.
The performance was not a great one again but this is, at least, something to build upon.
How Spurs drew with Liverpool
If Arne Slot's side could pick anyone in the Premier League to play right now it would be Spurs.
The north Londoners travelled to Merseyside riddled with injury and were missing as many as 14 first-team players, either through injury or suspension in Micky van de Ven's case.
Therefore, this had to be a collective effort and at long, long last, they put in a spirited display. Of course, all of their problems will not evaporate with this point but they did not look like a team in free fall for once.
Whether your find a way to praise Spurs for that or criticise Liverpool is very much up for debate.
Tudor's side so easily could have collapsed too. While they were not 3-0 down after 20 minutes as they were in Europe, they were 1-0 down after just 18 minutes. Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick found the net when really, Guglielmo Vicario should have stopped it.
From that moment, the game could have got away from them quickly after the debacle in Madrid.
However, it was anything but plain sailing for Liverpool against a patched up Spurs backline. Slot's men could have should have still won the game but Tottenham did not disgrace themselves.
It took a batch of subs to make them truly dangerous, though. In particular, Kolo Muani helped changed the game when his late run towards the penalty box ended up with the ball at Richarlison's feet.
The Brazilian had been getting grief from the Anfield crowd right throughout the game due to his affiliation with Everton but he ended up having the last laugh.
All of Spurs' problems will not go away with this result but the foundations have been laid for brighter times. Tudor will, however, need to make a few alterations to his team.
Where Tudor needs to change his team
Despite Vicario's error at the weekend, it is unlikely that Antonin Kinsky will be thrown into the limelight so soon after his error-stricken display against Atletico.
That said, the defence should look a lot better against Madrid in a few days where Van de Ven will return while it's likely Cristian Romero will also return after missing this one with concussion.
In attack, however, it does look as though Tudor is finally stumbling on a formula and it may not include club-record signing, Dominic Solanke.
The English centre-forward was a huge miss to Thomas Frank when he was absent for the vast majority of the opening half of the campaign and has been a rare shining light in dark times of late. He scored against Crystal Palace and Atleti in midweek and who could forget that scorpion kick goal either? Yet, he endured a pretty rough time of it on this occasion.
Indeed, it was when Kolo Muani came on that they finally looked a threat, the Frenchman linking up well with Richarlison for the goal. The Frenchman has had a distinctly average time of it since joining on loan last summer and was one of the sacrifical lambs when Kinsky was sent off in midweek.
This time around, he looks like a genuine threat and a player with more legs and energy than Solanke. For that reason, he should start in the return leg against Atletico in a few days time.
As for Solanke, he really did struggle against Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk. He registered just 30 touches, 16 fewer than Vicario and made just ten passes at a completion rate of only 63%. He lost possession ten times from all of that.
His influence on the game was so thin that not only did he fail to supply any of his teammates with a key pass while the 28-year-old also failed to have a single shot at goal.
While a front three of Matys Tel, Kolo Muani and Richarlison hardly worked in Europe a few days ago, they must return to that setup when Diego Simeone's men come to town. The three of them were perhaps Tottenham's only bright sparks on Sunday and should be rewarded for showing a rare ounce of fight in a collectively abject season for Spurs.
