Martin Skrtel has put the ball into the back of the net, but this time, in the 66th, he slotted a low, hard Luka Modric cross past Pepe Reina and into his own goal to bring Spurs level. Largely the result of some fantastic football by Modric, Liverpool's back four was exposed as quite slow and creaky as Modric tore down the left side.
Tottenham Vs. Liverpool: Martin Skrtel Again Scores, This Time For Spurs
Liverpool led for 24 minutes before the leveler which Skrtel scored from a set piece. Fernando Torres looked to be in on goal a few times but seemed to hesitate in taking a shot which has made the Spanish striker mostly ineffective on the day. In the 75th, Liverpool striker David Ngog had to leave the match due to injury and was replaced by Fabio Aurelio.
Gareth Bale has tested Liverpool's right side on more than one occasion as Spurs push for the winner at home. One such instance witnessed Bale win a penalty for Spurs when his free kick was adjudged to have been handled by David Ngog inside the box. Jermaine Defoe stepped up to bring Spurs level but placed his penalty wide to the left as Pepe Reina accepted his luck.
As the game enters into its last 15 minutes, the score remains 1-1 while Spurs now look the most likely to press on and find a winner.
