$400M spent, zero points: Tottenham loses again in Premier League as Liverpool rescues another draw
Spurs’ $400 million summer spree still has not produced a goal, while Liverpool extended its run of late escapes with an 82nd-minute equalizer.
On Saturday, Tottenham lost 2-0 to Newcastle, remaining scoreless through two Premier League matches despite investing $400 million in summer signings. The club has not found the net since the campaign began.
Five new signings, including midfielder Sandro Tonali and forward Omar Marmoush, started the match but made little impact as Spurs struggled. The club finished 17th in consecutive seasons and needs time for the overhauled squad to gel.
At Anfield, summer signing Munoz rescued a 2-2 draw for Liverpool against Nottingham Forest with an 82nd-minute strike. The Reds, managed by Andoni Iraola, continue to face defensive vulnerabilities despite needing a late equalizer for the second straight weekend.
Off the pitch, an investor group led by Amit Bhatia, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, agreed to buy a minority stake in Liverpool for $2.2 billion. The club also confirmed a $166 million deal for Bradley Barcola.
Frank Lampard's Coventry team fell 1-0 to Hull, while James Tarkowski's late goal secured a 1-1 draw for Everton against Bournemouth. These results reflect early Premier League volatility as newly promoted and rebuilding clubs adjust to the season.
