'In life much worse things happen': Jurgen Klopp remains calm after Tottenham draw and tells his Liverpool players to 'stop behaving like it's a funeral' as hopes of unprecedented quadruple take a serious blow

Jurgen Klopp told his players to stop behaving as if they attended a funeral after their pursuit of the quadruple was checked by Tottenham.

Liverpool failed to win a Premier League game at Anfield for the first time since October 30 after drawing 1-1 with Antonio Conte’s side; Luis Diaz’s deflected strike cancelled out Son Heung-min’s opener and the point enabled Klopp’s team to move temporarily top of the table.

But with rivals Manchester City hosting Newcastle this afternoon, the expectation is that Liverpool will be three points behind ahead of Tuesday’s difficult trip to Aston Villa and many believe this will prove to be the decisive night in the title race.
