Tottenham and Liverpool shared the spoils in the frenetic and controversial 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane but the match saw Harry Kane continue his struggles in front of goal.
James Milner converted a penalty for the Reds after long spells of sustained dominance in the first half but a late Danny Rose half-volley in the second half snatched a win from Jurgen Klopp's men in north London.
In the lively encounter, Spurs failed to imprint any control on proceedings as Liverpool's famed high-intensity forced mistakes from Mauricio Pochettino's men. The absence of the suspended Mousa Dembele was glaring and according to the Sport Bible, the Belgium international's absence is effecting Kane.
The England international endured a difficult summer at Euro 2016 and he is yet to find the target this season in the Premier League. Statistics show thatKane has scored 24 times in 27 appearances with Dembele in the team.
That is in stark contrast compared to when the former Fulham ace is not in the team. In the 12 matches Kane has played without Dembele, the 23-year-old has only found the net once.
The Spurs academy product will be without the Belgian again when Spurs take on Stoke City after the international break. The match at the Bet365 Stadium, where Spurs won 4-0 last season, will be the final match of Dembele's suspension.
The draw with Liverpool, meanwhile, means Pochettino's men remain unbeaten in the Premier League ahead of their Champions League campaign, which starts at Wembley against Ligue 1 side Monaco.
