Richarlison grabbed a crucial equaliser to earn relegation-threatened Tottenham a point at Anfield and dent Liverpool’s top-five hopes as Spurs boss Igor Tudor ended his losing streak after four consecutive defeats in charge.

A first-half free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai, his fourth of the season, had given Liverpool the lead. Frustratingly for Tottenham, after Antonin Kinsky’s disastrous display at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday there was another goalkeeping mistake with Guglielmo Vicario appearing culpable from the Liverpool midfielder’s set-piece.

But Tottenham did not roll over. Richarlison had at least four opportunities, two before half time and another couple following the restart, but was denied by the returning Alisson. Liverpool brought on Hugo Ekitike and Mohamed Salah in search of a finishing blow, but Tottenham still stood resolute at a tense Anfield.

Then, in the 90th minute, Richarlison struck to punish poor Liverpool defending and salvage a point for the visitors. It means Tudor’s side remain one point above the relegation zone, after Nottingham Forest and West Ham also picked up a draw this weekend, but it could be the lift that turns their season around.

Igor Tudor insisted never in his career has he thought about his future and all he wants to do is focus on building on his first point as Tottenham’s interim head coach.

Richarlison scored in the 90th minute to snatch a 1-1 draw at Liverpool and slightly ease some of the pressure on the Croatian, who had lost his first five matches after taking over from Thomas Frank as the team continued its slide towards the Premier League’s relegation zone.

But Tudor is far from in the clear with Spurs only a point above the bottom three and with their Champions League campaign looking like ending next week against Atletico Madrid the visit of fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest next weekend will be crucial.

Literally and figuratively, Igor Tudor is no longer pointless. The Tottenham manager lost his unwanted 100 per cent record, got his first result to savour and, just perhaps, brought the first signs of a revival that may save a beleaguered club. Spurs’ club-record run of defeats is over, halted at six after their first draw in six weeks. For Liverpool, an inability to beat a club seemingly in crisis could come at a cost. They are stumbling when they could have strolled back towards the Champions League.
