Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepts luck has played a part in their rise to title contenders but stressed the job the players have done should not be underestimated.
His side snatched a 2-1 win over Tottenham thanks to a 90th-minute Toby Alderweireld own goal to move back to the top of the Premier League – two points clear of Manchester City, who have a match in hand.
Mohamed Salah's header was palmed back into the six-yard area by Hugo Lloris and Alderweireld diverted it back past his goalkeeper.
