Jurgen Klopp hits out at referee after Liverpool's 'spectacular' win over Tottenham

01.05.2023 - 11:55 thenationalnews.com

Jurgen Klopp admitted he went too far with his celebration after Diogo Jota's dramatic late winner against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as the Liverpool manager risked punishment for his criticism of referee Paul Tierney.

Leading 3-0 inside 15 minutes following goals from Curtis Jones, Luis Diaz, and a Mohamed Salah penalty, Liverpool appeared to throw victory away when Tottenham mounted a remarkable comeback as Richarlison scored an equaliser in injury time following goals from Harry Kane and Son-Heung-min.

But less than one minute later, Jota latched on to a defensive mistake to slot beyond Spurs goalkeeper Fraser Forster to send Anfield into raptures.

A wild celebration from Klopp left the Liverpool manager limping after injuring himself and earned him a booking, with Tottenham caretaker manager Ryan Mason furious with the German's show of emotion in front of the visitors' bench.
