URUGUAYAN striker Luis Suarez returned after a nine-match absence but failed to inspire Liverpool to victory in a cagey 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Monday.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, who hoped to fly to the match after the end of the day's court proceedings in his tax evasion trial, missed the game because of a technical fault prevented his plane from taking off. He did not miss a great deal of action but his team defended resolutely to leave Anfield with a point after failing to score in the league for the first time for 23 matches.
Spurs stayed third on 50 points, seven behind leader Manchester City and five adrift of champion Manchester United.
Liverpool, which remains unbeaten at Anfield but has drawn eight of its 12 home matches, remained seventh on 39 points, one behind Arsenal.
Liverpool enjoyed more possession than Spurs but failed to seriously trouble the visitors, though manager Kenny Dalglish was happy with the performance.
"I'm really pleased with the way the team played. We kept them under a lot of pressure. We just needed the bounce of the ball to go our way and if we'd have got one, I think we would have won it," he said.
