NEW DELHI: Tottenham have remained at the top of the Premier League despite being held to a 1-1 draw away to Crystal Palace after Liverpool also dropped two points on their visit to Fulham.
Harry Kane’s 24th minute shot from distance on Sunday swerved past Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita to give Tottenham the lead in south-east London and Spurs looked to be on their way to three points until Jeffrey Schlupp equalized nine minutes from time after Hugo Lloris failed to deal with a free kick, reports Xinhua news agency.
Eric Dier almost won the game for Spurs in injury time but Guaita produced a spectacular save to keep his long range shot out.
The draw gave Liverpool the chance to return to top spot but Jurgen Klopp’s side, who were without the injured Diogo Jota, could only draw 1-1 away to struggling Fulham. Liverpool were asleep for most of the first half and paid the price when Bobby Decordova-Reid’s blasted the home side ahead on 25 minutes and, although they improved in the second half, it was not until the 79th minute that they drew level.
