Recap

Sunday's late match was another Premier League classic, prompting plenty of tweets such as this one from Fox Soccer's Warren Barton:

Salah opened the scoring in the third minute after a defensive lapse, and the first half played out without too many other incidents. Spurs improved after the break and started to press for an equaliser, but it wasn't until late in the contest when the drama began.

First, Victor Wanyama scored an 80th-minute screamer, a first-time strike that hit the net so hard it bounced straight back out. Seven minutes later, Spurs were handed a controversial penalty after a foul by Reds goalkeeper Loris Karius on Kane, although there were hints of offside surrounding the decision.

Kane fired straight at Karius, and when Salah bagged his second goal in the first minute of injury time, Sunday's marquee match appeared over.

There was more controversy to come, thugh as Virgil van Dijk kicked Erik Lamela in the leg to give away a second penalty in the 95th minute. This one appeared a little clearer, but Anfield was still furious―especially because the decision was made by the assistant referee. Nonetheless, Kane stepped up again, and this time he scored.

The Guardian's Sachin Nakrani thought it was a fair result based on how the match played out:

Elsewhere, Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe noted Newcastle grabbed a big point in south London:

Mohamed Diame gave the Magpies a 22nd-minute lead against Crystal Palace, who equalised through Luka Milivojevic from the penalty spot 10 minutes after the interval but had numerous chances to earn all three points.
