Mohamed Salah put Jurgen Klopp's side ahead in the 17th minute only for the Dutch to level through Ghanaian Mohammed Kudus. Then Joel Matip headed in from a corner in the 89th minute.

Tottenham slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Sporting in Portugal in Group D after late, late goals from Paulinho and Arthur Gomes.
