Before this match, both teams had 25 points, but Tottenham topped the table thanks to the sub-index. In recent years, Rooster has also had a very impressive performance in the Premier League when he has experienced 11 consecutive unbeaten games.
In this competition, although playing away from home, Tottenham did not flinch. In the first half, after Salah scored to open the scoring for Liverpool, the visitors soon had an equalizer with Son Heung-min.
After that, Tottenham continued to maintain a solid play and sharp counterattacks. Even, they almost passed if Bergwijn’s shot did not hit the post.
As if the match ended with an unbeatable result, Tottenham suffered a bitter defeat in the last minute. The winner for Liverpool is Firmino, and at the same time helps the defending champions take the lead with 28 points, pushing Tottenham down second.
It seems that this was a difficult defeat for Mourinho and he was also not satisfied with the attitude of his colleague Klopp. Speaking after the game, Mourinho said: "If I behave on the border like Klopp I will no longer stand there. Is that excitement? For some reason I am not like them.
After the game I told Klopp the better team lost but he disagreed, but that is his personal opinion.
Analyzing more carefully about the match, the Portuguese strategist stressed: "Tottenham kept the game under control. This loss was an undesirable result, but it was football. 1, we made some small changes but overall we are still in control and I’m very pleased with this performance.
The adjustment helps Tottenham create sharp counterattack situations. But Giovani Lo Celso was shown a yellow card and the Liverpool side tried to pressure the referees, forcing me to get him out. I’m also not the first to talk about Klopp’s outrageous actions off the border.
Tottenham attend every match to win. On their stadiums, we have the best chance of winning. The team played well. Today Liverpool failed to show itself as the NHA champion, the European and world champion. That difference didn’t appear on the pitch.
