		</div><p>Jurgen Klopp was pleased with the response of his Liverpool side as the Premier League leaders recovered from conceding early to beat Tottenham 2-1.</p>
<p>But the German insisted he expected no less from the Reds after Harry Kane headed Spurs ahead inside a minute at Anfield on Sunday.</p>
<p>The hosts dominated the contest after Spurs’ early blow and finally hit back after the break through Jordan Henderson and, from the penalty spot, Mohamed Salah.</p>
<p>The result restored Liverpool’s six-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.</p>
<p>Klopp said: <em>“Absolutely I am pleased, but I expected it as well. An early goal is not the best thing that can happen, but sometimes it makes one thing clear – game on.</em></p>
<p><em>“The game – I loved. It was a super game. That’s how football should look and how we should play against a strong, really well-organised side.”</em></p>
<p>Spurs goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga made a series of brilliant saves before Henderson struck a deserved equaliser after 52 minutes.</p>
<p>Klopp said: <em>“We played really good football, created chances in the first half and second half.</em></p>
<p><em>“Super saves from the goalie, wow. What a game he had.</em></p>
<p><em>“Then the first goal we scored, I loved. In other games, when the striker goes down there are shouts for a penalty and players switch off, but Hendo was not bothered and finished it off nicely.</em></p>
<p><em>“The second goal was after a sensational counter-press from Sadio (Mane), having the ball, losing it and then the opponent kicks your calf.</em></p>

<p><em>“We won it, we deserved it and I’m really happy about the performance.”</em></p>
<p>Salah, who has now scored eight goals this season, was substituted late on as a precautionary measure.</p>
<p>Klopp said: <em>“It was the ankle. He has struggled since the Leicester game. The longer the game goes and you get a knock and feel it more, it makes no sense to push it through, but it’s nothing serious.”</em></p>
<p>Spurs’ defeat left them 11th in the table and without a win in the Premier League for a month.</p>
<p>Manager Mauricio Pochettino said: <em>“There were different phases during the game I think we played well.</em></p>
<p><em>“But when we scored so early, the team tried to defend and we missed a little bit to play. In the first half it was difficult to connect the play and go forward and dominate.</em></p>
<p><em>“In the second half the game was under control. We started creating some chances but we didn’t score.</em></p>
<p><em>“When you concede, you know Anfield pushes the level of the team and in the end we conceded the penalty. We need to improve a lot and, of course, we’re a little bit disappointed. We competed but we need to keep pushing.”</em></p>
<p>Pochettino defended Serge Aurier after conceding the penalty that allowed Liverpool to go ahead.</p>
<p>He said: <em>“I think I am happy with him. Of course he is not happy, but no-one is happy. It is normal you make the penalty and you feel you are guilty, but it is not like this.</em></p>
<p><em>“I think it is a moment to be all together and show our support.</em></p>
<p><em>“Technically maybe it is penalty because there is a contact but, to be honest, the ball is going away. It is very soft.”</em></p>
