Jose Mourinho has opened up on the "unhappy" mood in the Spurs dressing room at half time as his side crashed to a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool.
The Reds bounced back from their recent slump in fine style at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last night.
Goals from Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Sadio Mane sealed a welcome win and moved Jurgen Klopp's men back up to fourth.
They are now four points behind leaders Manchester City who also have a game in hand.
Firmino's opener came in added time at the end of the first half - and Mourinho admits it was on the minds of his players at the break.
He said: "Everything went wrong at the end of the first half. We shouldn’t go in losing at half time, not at all.
"It's the mood of a team that it's difficult to accept you're losing. And it's difficult to accept the nature of the goal because it's in some aspects a replica of the occasion in the first minute that they had.
"So of course it's a mood where people are not happy [in the dressing room]. But then we have to move and Harry [Kane] injured and we need to try to do something.
"Unlucky in the second half that we start by conceding a goal immediately."
Since Mourinho spoke, reports have emerged that Serge Aurier left the stadium after he was substituted at half time.

The Telegraph claims: "Kane was forced off with injuries to both of his ankles at the break, while Aurier did not reappear for the restart after being replaced by Harry Winks.
"It is understood the right-back left the ground in a move that will no doubt have angered head coach Jose Mourinho, who was forced to answer questions on whether or not there had been a half time fall-out."
On Kane's ankle issues, the Spurs boss added: "For Harry to leave a game, when he wants to play always and with the team losing, for Harry to come out is not a nothing injury.
"It's an injury. For how long I can't tell you, I don't know. We have to wait and see."
And Mourinho pointed to a slew of 'individual mistakes' as he sought to come to terms with the home defeat.
He said: "Yes, it's a performance totally affected by defensive individual mistakes. The team was very solid, very confident and in the first half we made three defensive mistakes – individual.
"In the first minute, almost a goal. In the middle of the half, the Mane shot and the Hugo [Lloris] save and in the last minute for the goal.
"Even so the team comes to the second half with the intention to fight. And the second goal, I don't need to speak about it. Again, great reaction, great goal. And another one, Firmino handball, disallowed, but another one.
"Then the third goal, another one. The third goal hurts me because it was a mistake by a kid who played very very well. Joe Rodon played very, very well, So I feel very sorry for him and I'm happy with him. But obviously a poor performance."
