Jamie Carragher's brilliant reaction to dramatic Liverpool winner vs Tottenham

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher could not contain his excitement as they snatched a last-gasp winner in their crucial clash with Tottenham .

Jurgen Klopp's side looked set to be held to a 1-1 draw which would have dealt their Premier League title ambitions a major blow at Anfield.

But an injury-time own goal from Toby Alderweireld saw them emerge with a 2-1 victory and all three points to move back to the top of the table.

And Carragher, commentating on the game on Sky Sports, exploded with joy as Alderweireld deflected Hugo Lloris' save from a Mohamed Salah header into his own net.
