'I made changes and we lost organisation': Klopp admits Spurs pulled two goals back after his decision

Liverpool defeated Tottenham 4-2. The Reds were flying in the first 60-65 minutes of the game before letting the opposition pull two back.

Jurgen Klopp is happy with the result and has singled out goalscorers Mo Salah and Harvey Elliott for their performances today.

"We are outstanding until we are not," the boss told Sky Sports post-match. "It was a really good game. Tottenham can put pressure on Aston Villa again for the Champions League.

"In high performance things, you need a spark. I would say three points is enough and the boys thought that. Anfield was a special place today. We were 4-0 up, I made the changes and we lost organisation. Tottenham showed how good they could be. I was happy with the performance."

Klopp brought on Bajcetic and Gomez for Endo and Robertson in the 64th minute, when the scoreline was 4-0. At 4-1 about ten minutes later, he introduced Darwin and Gravenberch for Diaz and Mac Allister.

"We were good in pretty much all areas offensively. The passes were good. So many things were good. We stayed calm. As long as they don't break the lines then it's fine, let them pass. I liked our game a lot. The goals were outstanding.

"Mo [Salah] was outstanding, he played a really good game. His side with Harvey [Elliott] was good. I was pleased for him. None of the boys want to play not great, why would they? Mo showed what he is capable of."
