Jurgen Klopp's coronation ended all square as his Liverpool side earned a hard-fought 0-0 draw away to Tottenham Hotspur this afternoon.

Divock Origi, who led the line due to the Reds' depleted attacking options, had the best chance early on when his close-range effort came back off the bar.

Spurs settled and Simon Mignolet produced fine saves to keep out Harry Kane and Clinton N'Jie as both sides cancelled each other out at White Hart Lane.

Here, Sports Mole sorts the heroes from the villains in North London.

Goal

Hugo Lloris: Had precious little to do in the 90 minutes, but did well to clear the danger after Origi hit the bar in Liverpool's first, last and only chance. (6/10)

Defence

Kyle Walker: Expertly kept the oft-dangerous Coutinho out of the game, forcing the Brazilian to endure a quiet first showing under Klopp. (7/10)

Jan Vertonghen: Looked brilliant alongside his fellow Belgian at centre-back once again. (7/10)

Toby Alderweireld: Did not allow Origi a sniff after briefly losing his compatriot for the chance which saw him strike the bar. (7/10)

Danny Rose: Preferred to Ben Davies but often looked to be operating on a different wavelength than his attacking teammates, with plenty of attacks breaking down through misplaced passes. (5/10)

Midfield

Erik Lamela: With Moreno nowhere near his best, it was a chance for Lamela to make the Spaniard's afternoon far more uncomfortable than it already was, but the Argentine passed up the invitation. (5/10)

Dele Alli: Tracked back well and made some crucial interceptions, but really should have scored his first Spurs goal when his first-half volley was blocked by Sakho. (7/10)

Moussa Dembele: Recalled into the side out of necessity due to the injuries of others, but the Belgian barely put a foot wrong. (7/10)

Christian Eriksen: Certainly deserves an A for effort after making some excellent passes which his teammates failed to make the most of. (6/10)

Nacer Chadli: Only lasted 12 minutes following a late challenge by Milner. Replaced by N'Jie. (6/10)

Attack

Harry Kane: Could, and should, have opened the scoring in the first half, but fluffed a one-on-one with a missed opportunity that would suggest that he is still not at his best. (5/10)

Substitutes

Clinton N'Jie: Replaced the injured Chadli and often looked menacing, but should have scored his first Spurs goal in the first half. (6/10)

Andros Townsend: Only had three minutes in which to make an impact. (6/10)

Goal

Simon Mignolet: Pulled off two fantastic first saves to keep out Kane and N'Jie respectively. Huge reason as to why Liverpool did not lose on Klopp's bow. (8/10)

Defence

Nathaniel Clyne: Perhaps his best game for the Reds as the ex-Southampton right-back did excellently against N'Jie and Rose. (8/10)

Martin Skrtel: Initially looked like a rock against Kane, following him everywhere, though he slowly but surely became more erratic and was perhaps a bit fortunate not to be culpable for a couple of goals conceded in the end. (5/10)

Mamadou Sakho: Man of the match and produced the bravery which Klopp demanded in his pre-match notes. Exemplary overall from the Frenchman. (8/10)

Alberto Moreno: The Spanish left-back has pace to burn, but we did not see many examples of it in a game in which Moreno failed to do much other than give Spurs possession. Dismal. (4/10)

Midfield

James Milner: Started on the right wing, having played centrally under Brendan Rodgers, and looked a little over-zealous at times. Also booked in the first half and went quiet after that. (5/10)

Lucas Leiva: Sat in front of the Reds' back four well as usual but his distribution was nowhere near ideal. (5/10)

Emre Can: Struggled somewhat in the first half, but was perhaps the best player on the park in the second half as an exemplary work-rate and some truly brilliant tackles set him apart. (8/10)

Adam Lallana: Superb in the first half - especially defensively - but did very little at the other end, the right end, in both halves. Subbed for Joe Allen on 80 minutes. (6/10)

Philippe Coutinho: Did little to quell theories of inconsistency after the Brazilian had a minimal impact. Showed one or two moments of brilliance, but nowhere near enough to satisfy his new manager. (4/10)

Attack

Divock Origi: Led the line well at times but should, in truth, have opened the scoring when his point-blank header came back off the bar in the first half. More or less a passenger throughout a second half in which he rarely found himself involved. (5/10)

Substitutes

Joe Allen: Did little wrong in his 10-minute cameo after replacing Lallana. (6/10)

Jordon Ibe: Did enough in his three-minute cameo to suggest that he could have made a difference had he been introduced earlier. (6/10)
