James Milner rues a "disappointing" end to their Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday as the visitors struck late to seize a 2-2 draw.

James Milner has bemoaned a "disappointing" end to their Premier League meeting with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield as the visitors struck late to seize a 2-2 draw.

Harry Kane's penalty, converted with virtually the last kick of the game, gave Spurs a share of the spoils after Mohamed Salah's stoppage-time strike looked to have given the Reds victory.

Salah had broken the deadlock after just three minutes, a lead held until the 80th minute when Victor Wanyama rifled home from Loris Karius's punched clearance.

The Liverpool goalkeeper made amends by saving a controversial penalty from Kane before the injury-time drama.

"Disappointing, being in the lead and then what happened with the penalty save and Mo thinking it's a match-winning moment, to have it snatched away is disappointing," Milner told BBC Sport after the game.

"Seeing it (the penalty) again afterwards there is contact. The referee has said 'no' but the linesman is 100% right away. The first penalty was obviously offside, but Loz (Karius) has pulled off a good save.

"It was disappointing we could not control the game second half a bit more, couldn't get that goal to get us over the line. They are a good side and move the ball quickly. When you have the majority of the ball, that pressing you are not doing so often, but it wasn't as easy to get up to them as quickly."

Liverpool remain third in the Premier League table, two points ahead of Tottenham in fifth place.
