What Gary Neville had to say about Tottenham's Harry Kane and Son Heung-min after Liverpool draw

Gary Neville has praised Tottenham's resolute display in their 1-1 draw at Liverpool on Saturday evening. Son Heung- min fired Spurs into a shock lead at Anfield before Luis Diaz's deflected strike rescued a point for the title-chasing Reds.

Antonio Conte's side were under immense pressure in the first half but successfully weathered the storm and posed more of a threat after the break. Harry Kane in particular saw more of the ball and used his passing vision to cause problems for the home side, and Son's goal was a result of some clever play from the England captain.

Kane received the ball from Emerson Royal and was able to evade the attentions of Trent Alexander-Arnold and find Ryan Sessegnon in the box; who squared it for Son for an easy finish. It was no more than Spurs deserved for a bold approach in the second half and Neville praised their resolve, and also paid tribute to their deadly attacking duo for unlocking the host's imperious defence.

"They’re a joy anyway, they’ve been outstanding for a number of seasons now, but
