Tottenham Hotspur suffered a defeat at Anfield, losing to Liverpool 4-2 in their recent Premier League fixture on Sunday afternoon.
This loss marked Spurs’ fourth consecutive defeat in the league, significantly denting their chances of finishing inside the top four and securing a Champions League spot for next season.
After their 2-0 loss to Chelsea midweek, the Lilywhites were anticipated to bounce back against the Merseyside club.
However, the North London outfit’s struggles continued as they found themselves four goals down around the half-hour mark.
Tottenham attempted to initiate a comeback, scoring two quick goals from Richarlison and Son Heung-min in the last quarter of the game.
The visitors began to dream of a miraculous turnaround, which might have materialized had they not been denied a penalty.
The replay footage reveals that around the 88th-minute mark, Joe Gomez’s boot rose high near Brennan Johnson’s head inside the penalty area as he cleared the ball.

Spurs should have been awarded a penalty, which could have allowed them to pull back another goal, potentially completing their comeback.
