Three main signs of progress in Tottenham draw against Liverpool
By Gary Pearson
1. Tottenham showed resilience and a winning character
Coming back from a goal down against an elite team is never an easy task. Tottenham showed collective character and poise to erase Liverpool’s 2-1 second half lead. It would have been easy for Spurs to capitulate after Andrew Robertson’s 69th minute goal, particularly after the tireless work and energy the home side committed to the match. Instead, Spurs responded like a championship-caliber side and reaped the rewards.
Sure, Sonny got lucky on an unthinkable Alisson Becker error. But fortune favours the resilient, and Spurs got everything they deserved when the Liverpool keeper handed Sonny a 74th minute equalizer. In fairness, Spurs should have scored three or four more, so fate simply intervened to balance the books.
