Klopp Praises Liverpool After ‘A Top Game’ Against Spurs

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was delighted by his side’s performance in a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The Reds go top of the Premier League table after securing another crucial win at home thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.

Salah had put the champions ahead in 26 minutes but Spurs quickly responded through Heung-Min Son.

Jose Mourinho’s men thought they have secured a crucial point at Anfield but Firmino met an Andy Robertson cross to give Liverpool a crucial win.

“To play a game like this is absolutely exceptional. It was a top game and we deserved three points against a top side who, organisation-wise were very difficult to play against with the counter-attacking threat they have,” Klopp said after the game.

“I liked the game a lot. I've got no problem scoring late if it is needed. We really deserved the three points.

"Of course Tottenham had chances, they scored a goal with an unbelievably tight offside decision - we are really not lucky with these decisions at the moment.”

“They had other chances - you cannot defend Kane, Son, Bergwijn for 90 minutes, the speed they have is incredible.

"But around those moments we were completely in charge of the game, stayed concentrated and protected our attacks sensationally well, counter press was good, passing was good. Not all of our efforts led to a goal or a proper chance because they were deep in the box and defended all of the high balls.

"We needed to be creative and the boys were creative, stayed creative and then forced it. The first goal we forced a little bit and the second with the set piece is really nice because we don't have a lot of time to work on things and that worked out again."

Liverpool are now unbeaten in their last 66 home games in the Premier League (W55 D11), with their last loss coming against Sam Allardyce's Crystal Palace back in April 2017.
