In the end, it was Harry Kane who had the final say at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The Tottenham striker tucked away a penalty at the Kop end, enough for his side to leave Liverpool with a 2-2 draw.
The penalty was the final act in an utterly ridiculous final ten minutes, which began with Victor Wanyama cancelling out Mo Salah's first-half opener with a long-range screamer.
Minutes later, Kane won the first of two penalties, giving Spurs the chance to take the lead. This spot kick was saved comfortably by Loris Karius, a save that looked to be all the more significant when Salah restored Liverpool's lead as the game entered stoppage time.
However, a foul by Virgil Van Dijk on Erik Lamela presented Kane with the opportunity to atone for his earlier miss. This time, there were no mistakes as Kane scored his 100th Premier League goal.
"You can't give me two tries," Kane said into the lens of one of the Sky Sports cameras as he left the Anfield pitch.

His point may have been a valid one, but there weren't too many Liverpool fans who seemed to appreciate it. Instead, many seemed more concerned with claiming Kane had dived as he won the first of his two penalties.
