Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur were left to settle for a point each on Saturday after an end-to-end 1-1 draw at Anfield.

With kick-off coming just two hours before the Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Squawka's Amar Singh had an alternative nickname for the evening's Premier League clash:

The game started at a fast pace, but the first incident of note occurred when Philippe Coutinho was booked for diving:

The home fans briefly thought they'd won a penalty when Kyle Walker tackled James Milner in the box, but it was a false alarm:

"
Referee Moss points for what Liverpool fans think is a penalty - actually giving a goal kick. Klopp roaring laughing. Pochettino relieved.

Liverpool soon had two great chances to go ahead, only for Hugo Lloris to deny first Daniel Sturridge, then Adam Lallana:

"
Glorious chance for Sturridge but he fires straight at Lloris. Had time to pick his spot after lovely pass from Coutinho.

Best chance of the game as Coutinho puts Sturridge clean through but he shoots straight at Lloris.

Now Lloris claws away another effort from Lallana.
