Tottenham vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction today
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
One of those matches that was bursting at the seams, but where everyone felt they could have had a bit more.
It was also one of the games of the season, that may go some way to deciding the season. There is now the daylight of three points between Liverpool and Manchester City, although there was very little clarity to the decisions that dictated this pulsating 2-2 draw between Jurgen Klopp’s team and Tottenham Hotspur.
That will give rise to more rounds of debate over who exactly benefits from what, although that no longer just applies to arguments about circuit-breakers or Covid-enforced spells without games here. There was also the officiating, particularly after the England captain wasn’t sent off but the Scottish captain was.
The oddity will be that both sides can claim justice was done and that they were the victims of injustice.
At the very least, supporters also got the brilliant match that it felt like the game deserved, especially amid a spell when there are renewed arguments over whether the sport should be suspended for a time.

What do those 2pm kick off results do to the Premier League table? Not a whole lot if truth be told.
Manchester City have opened up a four point lead over Liverpool, six over Chelsea, and remain top of the table. Chelsea are comfortable in third with a six point lead over fourth placed Arsenal whilst Wolves have moved level on points with Tottenham but remain eighth in the table.
Newcastle slump to yet another heavy defeat and remain 19th in the table having played more games than all of their closest relegation rivals.
Full-time: Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
90+3 mins: Wolves will be happy with that! They’ve taken a point off Chelsea with a very good performance at home. Bruno Lage’s men were the better team in the first half-time but couldn’t get going in the second. Chelsea threw a lot at them but they held strong and kept the Blues out.
Thomas Tuchel won’t be happy. It’s another two points dropped by the Blues and they’re now six points behind the league leaders Manchester City. Is their title race over already?
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea

87 mins: Manchester City have sown up three points against Newcastle and will be moving six clear of Chelsea if the Blues can’t find a winner here. Wolves look very resolute defensively. It would be a big surprise if this game doesn’t end 0-0.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
84 mins: Wolves’ last shot came in the 43rd minute. They haven’t had one in the second half and are firmly settling for a point now. Traore chases down a clearance but gets beaten to the ball by Rudiger. He looks for a pass out of his own final third but Traore is on top of him quickly and Rudiger boots the ball into the stands for a Wolves throw in.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
81 mins: Adama Traore has been introduced by Bruno Lage replacing Daniel Podence for the last 10 minutes or so.

Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
79 mins: Save! Christian Pulisic is denied by Jose Sa. Pulisic breaks into the box from the left and is closed down by the Wolves defenders but not before he squeezes off a right-footed shot towards the back corner. Sa covers the distance and sticks out his left hand to stop the ball and deny Chelsea an opener!
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
76 mins: N’Golo Kante has pushed further up the pitch since Saul has come on and the two players are linking up well. Kante slips into the box through the inside right channel and Saul picks him out. Kante goes for goal but once again Saiss is there to block the shot and keep out the danger!
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
73 mins: Chance! Chelsea win a free kick over on the inside right. It’s curled into the box and the headed clearance drops for Mason Mount. He shoots from just inside the box but Dendoncker gets across and blocks it behind for a corner.
Chelsea look to play it quickly and knock the corner short. The return pass comes back to Mount who is caught offside.
