But Spurs stunned the Reds to level up the game at 3-3 in second half stoppage time courtesy of Richarlison’s first Premier League goal for Tottenham.

Silence from the home supporters soon turned to delirium as Jota capitalised on Lucas Moura’s short back pass to lash home into the bottom right corner.

As soon as Jota wheeled away in delight, Klopp ran to celebrate in the face of the fourth official, where he suffered an apparent injury in the process.

Klopp and the official had been at loggerheads on the touchline for the majority of the second half.

“Liverpool were absolutely terrible in the second half but they’ve won the game. The emotion in this ground is unbelievable.”

The enthralling victory over Spurs has seen Liverpool leapfrog Ryan Mason’s side in the table, where they sit in fifth spot.

It keeps their faint hopes of securing Champions League football for next season alive after racking up a fourth consecutive win.
