Interim Tottenham boss Igor Tudor praised the 'amazing' spirit of his depleted squad after a 1-1 draw against Liverpool, which has bolstered their chances of avoiding relegation from the Premier League.
Richarlison's 90th-minute equaliser snapped a club-record run of six straight defeats that had left Spurs on the brink of falling into the bottom three.
The draw edges them one point clear of relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and West Ham.
Tudor was without a dozen first-team players due to injury or suspension, forcing him to field 19-year-olds Callum Olusesi and James Rowswell in the second half.
Liverpool, meanwhile, blew a huge chance to climb into the top four and remain at serious risk of missing out on the Champions League next season.
Arne Slot's men conceded late after failing to kill the game off, a familiar tale this season for the defending English champions.
