Jurgen Klopp: 'Liverpool could have beaten Tottenham Hotspur'

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists that his side could have beaten Tottenham Hotspur but for lapses of concentration at key moments.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has said that his side "switched off" at key moments during their 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield this evening.

The Reds took the lead through Philippe Coutinho early in the second half, but Harry Kane hit back with a clinical finish shortly after the hour mark to earn a point for the visitors.

Klopp admitted that he wasn't satisfied with the result, and believes that they could have won the game but for some lapses in concentration.

"I think we could have won this game. You cannot be satisfied after a draw, there were two world-class goals scored. First half was a stop-and-go game, we were brilliant at go, then stopped in concentration," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"We played passes that brought them back into the game. We scored a brilliant goal then Tottenham came back into the game a little bit because of us.

"We switched off in moments. Nathaniel Clyne thought the ball was out and Dejan Lovren – who had a brilliant game – was not close enough for the goal. It was an open and wild game with two teams with a good attitude."

The result leaves Liverpool nine points adrift of the Champions League places with just eight games of their season remaining.
