Jurgen Klopp was pleased with the response of his Liverpool side as the Premier League leaders recovered from conceding early to beat Tottenham 2-1.

But the German insisted he expected no less from the Reds after Harry Kane headed Spurs ahead inside a minute at Anfield on Sunday.

The hosts dominated the contest after Spurs’ early blow and finally hit back after the break through Jordan Henderson and, from the penalty spot, Mohamed Salah.

Pochettino defended Serge Aurier after conceding the penalty that allowed Liverpool to go ahead.

He said: “I think I am happy with him. Of course he is not happy, but no-one is happy. It is normal you make the penalty and you feel you are guilty, but it is not like this.

“I think it is a moment to be all together and show our support.

“Technically maybe it is penalty because there is a contact but, to be honest, the ball is going away. It is very soft.”
