LONDON: Danny Rose scored a second-half equaliser to cancel out James Milner's penalty as Tottenham Hotspur came from behind to draw 1-1 with Liverpool in tyheir Prtemier League clash at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Erik Lamela nodded Eric Dier's cross into the path of Rose in the 72nd minute and the England left back controlled the ball and slammed it past Simon Mignolet to extend Spurs' unbeaten start to the season.

Milner beat Michel Vorm from the spot in the 43rd minute after Lamela had tripped Roberto Firmino in the box, as Spurs struggled to deal with Liverpool's attacking firepower in the first half.

Stand-in goalkeeper Vorm made an excellent save to deny Philippe Coutinho from close range and was twice called out of his area to tackle the outstanding Sadio Mane as the visitors created chance after chance before the interval.

Spurs now have five points from three matches and Liverpool have four.

Spurs are now without a win in their last seven Premier League matches with Liverpool – losing five and drawing the last three. Liverpool are unbeaten in their last four league visits to White Hart Lane, winning twice and drawing twice while scoring nine goals and allowing only one.
