Jurgen Klopp's first game in charge of Liverpool ended in a goalless draw as the Anfield club earned a point away at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League this afternoon.

After a fiery opening in North London, Liverpool almost found themselves in front when Divock Origi got on the end of Emre Can's flick-on, before seeing his effort come back off the crossbar.

Klopp's charges continued to show some positive invention away from home, and they had another decent chance soon after when Adam Lallana shot tamely at a thankful Hugo Lloris.

Spurs came back into the game and they might have gone in front had Simon Mignolet not moved well to deny Clinton Njie's effort, who linked up positively with Harry Kane.

The hosts continued to build from that chance and they were soon wasteful once more, when Dele Alli reacted quickest from a Kane chance, only to be thwarted by a block from Mamadou Sakho.

Mauricio Pochettino's charges arguably finished the half as the stronger side, and they might have just stolen the lead had Njie not seen his dipping shot fly over the crossbar from the edge of the box.

Spurs continued the second half in much the same fashion as the end of the first, this time as Kyle Walker broke forward to flash a shot at Mignolet.

Liverpool failed to produce much after a threatening early showing, but they almost grabbed a late goal through Origi, whose driven effort was well saved by Lloris down low.

Kane thought that he had saved the fireworks for the final moments when he looked to register a standout shot from distance, only for Sakho to produce another memorable moment to block the striker's effort on the way to goal.
