'It was a relief' - Klopp admits emotions ran high as Liverpool secured late win over Spurs

Jurgen Klopp has admitted that Liverpool's late winner against Tottenham came as a huge relief, as they continue to chase Premier League glory.

The Reds ran out 2-1 winners at Anfield at the weekend, thanks to a comical last gasp own goal from Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld.

The Belgian inadvertently knocked the ball into his own net after Hugo Lloris inexplicably failed to hold a tame Mohamed Salah header at the back post.
