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.

Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
Wolves’ last six Premier League matches have seen just four goals scored (two 1-0 wins, two 1-0 defeats, two 0-0 draws). It’s the fewest goals scored across a six-game spell by any team in the competition since Wigan in January/February 2009 (also four).
This game isn’t exactly shaping up to be a goal fest either.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
Half-time: Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
45+4 mins: It was a very strange first half from Chelsea. Wolves were the more compact, aggressive and stylistic team in the opening 45 minutes with Chelsea only having two or three decent periods on the ball. The visitors felt disjointed and lacking confidence as Wolves hit them on counter-attacks. The home side had a goal disallowed and the teams head into the break on level terms.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
45+2 mins: Chelsea have just upped the tempo slightly as half-time approaches. Mount wins another corner and fires it towards the back post. The Wolves clearance comes to Kante who keeps the attack going. Chelsea work it out ot the right side but Ziyech is closed down by Neves and Chelsea are forced backwards.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
45 mins: Mount wins a corner from the right hand side as four minutes of added time are announced to end this half. The corner is whipped into the middle of the box but Wolves deal with it well enough.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
43 mins: Daniel Podence has a rather optimistic shot from just past the halfway line and Edouard Mendy takes a couple of steps back to claim the ball. That was a hopeful one to say the least.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
40 mins: Marcal makes a run into the centre of the box as Jimenez chips a pass over to him. He’s up against Thiago Silva but the Chelsea defender heads the ball clear for the visitors.
Wolves continue to attack down the left. Podence whips a diagonal ball into the box as Dendoncker runs in between Alonso and Rudiger. He wins the header and fires it low to Mendy’s left but the goalkeeper leaps across and smothers it.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
37 mins: There’s another break in play as Chalobah gets some treatment for a slight knock. Thiago Silva is limping around the pitch too, not the best signs for a depleted Chelsea team.
Wolves 0 - 0 Chelsea
35 mins: Antonio Rudiger joins Chalobah in the book for a high boot on Jimenez. Kante threads a ball into the box for Pulisic who gets to the ball before Jose Sa but gets forced out wide. He gets some help from Hakim Ziyech who gives Pulisic the ball back after he drifts wide of the box. Pulisic looks to cross one into the middle but gets it all wrong and scuffs the ball out of play.
