Klopp frustrated as Rose rescues Spurs
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 1 Rose (72) LIVERPOOL 1 Milner (43 pen)
JURGEN KLOPP insisted Liverpool missed the opportunity to secure a second victory of the season after drawing with Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
James Milner, playing in the unfamiliar position of full-back, rifled home the opener from the penalty spot before Sadio Mane unjustly had a goal disallowed for offside as the Reds pushed for a second.
Spurs were in danger of being over-run as the visitors created a series of chances but they struck back through Danny Rose in the second half and finished the stronger team.
“I still feel a little bit disappointed when we play like this, because we could have won the game. We made one mistake in and around the goal for their goal,” Klopp said. “We had chances, and even one in the 92nd minute. This game showed again what we can do and how we can play.
“I wish we could have won it. We have to accept the point and that’s not a problem because it’s Tottenham.
“It feels worst now than the last time we were here last season. Simon Mignolet saved our lives then, now he had one brilliant save. Michel Vorm saved them a few times.
“Of course, the players know they should score. Tottenham is not a game you win by four or five goals. They are a good defensive team, so it’s very difficult to create one chance but we had a few. That’s a good sign and it’s something we take for our future. In the end, we have to accept the result.”
