'The best team lost': Mourinho takes aim at Klopp after Liverpool snatch top spot
- Tottenham manager criticises German’s touchline behaviour
- ‘If I behave the same way he does, I do not stay there’
José Mourinho claimed the “best team lost” after Roberto Firmino’s late header at Anfield gave Liverpool a 2-1 win over Tottenham to take the champions top of the Premier League. While Jürgen Klopp characterised a victory that displaced Spurs as leaders as “really special”, Mourinho also criticised the German’s touchline behaviour, speculating he would have been sent off if “grabbing” the fourth official’s board as he claimed his opposite number did.
Liverpool’s victory made it 66 home league matches unbeaten and takes them to 25 points after 13 games, three more than previous leaders Tottenham. While Liverpool dominated the contest, in the second half the visitors hit a post through Stephen Bergwijn and Harry Kane missed with a header from close range, Son Heung-min’s 33rd-minute equaliser having equalised Mohamed Salah’s opener for Liverpool.
