What would have been a fair scoreline in Liverpool v Tottenham? Answered

The Liverpool v Tottenham game ended in a 4-3 win for the Reds and it's an instant Premier League classic.

The Reds went 3-0 up in the opening fifteen minutes but bottled the lead as Richarlison equalised in stoppage time. Diogo Jota cancelled the Brazilian's goal by scoring a winner at the death.

What would have been a fair scoreline in the Liverpool v Spurs game?

Sofascore say that the Reds had a better xG (expected goals) — 2.33 compared to Spurs' 1.99.

However, Tottenham had more shots on target than Liverpool — seven to four. Yes, the Reds scored four goals from four shots on target while Spurs hit the woodwork two times. Alisson made three saves.

In terms of big chances, we have a draw — 4-4. So perhaps it would be fair that the game ended in a draw — something like 2-2 would be deserved.

However, that's down to the fact that Liverpool scored three early on and weren't bothered to create chances before Spurs equalised.
