Dominik Szoboszlai scores fourth direct free-kick of season to put Liverpool ahead
Richarlison earns Spurs point their performance merited with 90th-minute equaliser
Draw is first point of interim Tottenham boss Igor Tudor's reign
Liverpool up to fifth; Spurs are 16th - one point clear of relegation zone
Richarlison's last-gasp equaliser earned Tottenham Hotspur a deserved draw at Liverpool as under-pressure interim coach Igor Tudor secured his first point.
Despite delivering their best performance under the Croatian, Spurs looked set to slump to a seventh straight loss in all competitions - their fifth under Tudor - after Dominik Szoboszlai's 18th minute free-kick put Liverpool ahead.
Richarlison had been a constant menace, forcing Liverpool keeper Alisson into several saves, before he finally pounced on Randal Kolo Muani's pass to score in the 90th minute.
It was a bitter blow to Liverpool, who looked to be moving back into the top four, but a huge lift for Spurs as they showed real resilience to finally stop the rot, especially after their midweek Champions League humbling at Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot dropped Mohamed Salah to the bench, giving 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha his first Premier League start, and how he justified that act of faith.
Spurs, with 13 players missing through either injury or suspension, started brightly but were undermined by another goalkeeping error.
Guglielmo Vicario, starting instead of Antonin Kinsky following his nightmare in the heavy loss in Spain, got his positioning all wrong for Szoboszlai's free-kick, failing to keep it out despite getting a strong hand on the effort.
And Liverpool came close to doubling the lead before half-time, Vicario this time doing well to turn Cody Gakpo's shot on to the post.
But Richarlison led the Spurs line with great heart, heading narrowly wide and forcing two important saves from Alisson either side of the interval before finally striking in front of a stunned Kop.
Spurs answer Tudor's call with show of fight in the face of crisis
'Wake up... or be happy with Conference League'
Ngumoha a 'constant threat' in first Premier League start - Slot
Slot finally bowed to the demands to unleash Ngumoha from the start, and the teenage winger demonstrated what all the fuss and excitement is about with a thrilling display.
Following Max Dowman's brilliant goalscoring cameo in Arsenal's win against Everton, Ngumoha showed further evidence of a bright future for England as he stood out, despite being surrounded by the mediocrity of his Liverpool team-mates.
Ngumoha was a constant threat in one-on-one duels and was always willing to shoot at goal, in a performance showing a vision and invention beyond other more experienced players around him.
But the teenager aside, Liverpool lacked urgency and creation and invited the trouble that eventually led to Richarlison punishing Slot's side at the end.
The equaliser carried a sense of inevitability, and the Brazilian cupped an ear to the Kop who had jeered him throughout for his previous Everton connections.
Liverpool looked set to move into the top four until they conceded, but can have no complaints about the outcome. Anfield let Slot and his players know exactly what they thought with resounding jeers at the final whistle.
Spurs happy to earn 'very good point' at Liverpool - Tudor
Spurs and interim head coach Tudor - however long he may last - can take huge encouragement from both the performance and result at Anfield.
Tudor arrived at Anfield surrounded by speculation about his future after four dismal losses, the last little short of a fiasco at Atletico in the Champions League.
But missing 13 players, they fully merited the draw as they were spirited and dangerous throughout.
Richarlison led the line superbly, giving Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez a torrid time in tandem with Dominic Solanke.
He had tested Alisson several times before finally beating his Brazil colleague with a scuffed finish after Kolo Muani had outmuscled Van Dijk in the final minute of normal time.
The big question is whether Spurs can now build on the platform this fine display has provided.
They face a mammoth task to overturn a 5-2 deficit from the first leg against Atletico before a vital game at home to fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest.
Spurs have reached the stage where every point is priceless - and no-one could possibly begrudge them this one.
Liverpool host Galatasaray in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday (20:00 GMT kick-off) and then travel to face Brighton in Saturday's early Premier League kick-off (12:30 GMT).
Spurs are also in Champions League action, playing Atletico Madrid at home on Wednesday (20:00 GMT) and then host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday, 22 March (14:15 GMT).

Liverpool have lost nine Premier League games this season, more than they did in 2023-24 (4) and 2024-25 (4) combined (8). The Reds last suffered 10+ defeats in a league season in 2015-16 (10), and last did so under a single manager in 2014-15 under Brendan Rodgers (12).
Tottenham Hotspur have earned 19 of their 29 points in the Premier League this season away from home, a ratio of 66%. In the competition’s history, only Ipswich Town in 2024-25 (68% - 15/22) and Crystal Palace in 1997-98 (67% - 22/33) have ever earned a larger share of their points on the road.
Tottenham Hotspur have lost each of their last five Premier League games; only in February 1994 (7) and November 2004 (6) have they ever suffered 6+ successive defeats in their league history.
Only Sunderland (25) have seen fewer goals in the first halves of their Premier League games this season than Liverpool (28 – 16 for, 12 against), while only Burnley’s first halves have seen more goals (46) than Tottenham Hotspur’s (42 – 16 for, 26 against). On the other hand, Liverpool’s second halves have produced a league-high 59 goals (32 for, 27 against).
Tottenham are the only side without a Premier League win so far in 2026, drawing four and losing seven of their 11 games. Only five times has a team gone longer without a win from the start of a calendar year in the competition – Crystal Palace in 2016 (12) and 2023 (12), Middlesbrough in 2017 (14), Sunderland in 2003 (17) and Derby in 2008 (18).
Liverpool’s Mo Salah has scored 16 goals in his career against Tottenham Hotspur in all competitions (14 for Liverpool, 1 for Fiorentina, 1 for Basel), his joint-most against a single opponent (also 16 v Manchester United). 12 of those have come in the Premier League, with only Alan Shearer (14) netting more against Spurs in the competition.
Richarlison has been involved in more Premier League goals against Liverpool than any other opponent (8 – 5 goals, 3 assists), including five in five games with Spurs (3 goals, 2 assists). His next goal or assist will be his 100th in the Premier League (72 goals, 27 assists currently), with only two Brazilians reaching that milestone previously (Roberto Firmino 132, Gabriel Jesus 118).
