What Jose Mourinho said to Jurgen Klopp at full-time after Liverpool beat Tottenham

Jose Mourinho has taken aim at Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp following Tottenham's defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League.

Spurs suffered a crushing, stoppage time defeat to the reigning champions after Roberto Firmino headed home a corner with seconds to spare after Son Heung-min had cancelled out Mo Salah's deflected opener.

The result sees Liverpool open up a three-point gap over Spurs at the top of the table, and after the game, there was an exchange on the touchline between Mourinho and Klopp.

Mourinho appeared to say something to Klopp which left the Liverpool boss laughing, while his Portuguese counterpart looked less than impressed.

In his post-match interview with Amazon Prime, Mourinho revealed what he told Klopp and took aim at the Reds boss over his actions on the touchline during the dramatic climax.

“I told him the best team lost and he disagreed, but that’s his opinion," he said. "By the way, if I behaved the same way on the touchline like he does, then I have no chance of staying there and I’m out for a minute. That’s animated?

"Do you want me to take the fourth official board from his hands and see what happens to me? For some reason, I am different.”

Speaking about the result, Mourinho added: “So close to winning, not so close of a draw, so close to winning, but we missed the chances. We had the chances, we had the game under control.

"A draw would be a bad result in relation to the performance, so you can imagine how we feel in relation to the result. A very good performance, of course, with some mistakes and some things to improve. A very unfair result."
