Dejan Lovren opens up on Jurgen Klopp's "unusual" team-talk before Liverpool comeback

Dejan Loren has opened up on Jurgen Klopp's "unusual" team-talk that sparked Liverpool's comeback against Tottenham this weekend.

The Reds were trailing by a goal to nil at the break after Harry Kane got the better of Virgil van Dijk to nod home in the first minute.

Liverpool came out a different team in the second half and bombarded the Spurs goal, finally finding a breakthrough with Jordan Henderson volleying home.

Liverpool continued to press and were eventually awarded a penalty for a foul on Sadio Mane.

Golden Boot winner Mohamed Salah did the honours, firing the Reds ahead for the first time and ultimately securing all three points.

Providing details Klopp's half time team-talk, Lovren claims the Reds boss revealed he was satisfied with his side's performance despite the result.

Lovren said: "We came in at half-time and the boss said: 'Usually I never say this, but I am satisfied even though we are 1-0 down. But we need to continue like that and keep our nerve'.

"We knew we would have another chance and we did it. It's a massive, massive win."

He added: "I'm happy for Hendo, he deserved that. And, especially for the three points, Sadio – it was a great run from him [to win the penalty].

"Overall, we're quite happy. Let's just now recover well, sleep well and eat well because we have a game every three days. So, just be calm with our heads and everything will be OK."
