Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp branded Antonio Conte's Tottenham long ball after yesterday's 2-2 draw.

Klopp took a swipe in his post-match press conference at Tottenham's tactics when he claimed "they just kicked it as far as possible" .

"Let's start with the result, maybe the result is fine and would have been different with different decisions from the ref. With the decisions and how they did it, I'm fine with the result. A 2-2 at Tottenham is absolutely OK," explained the German.

"It was difficult game for us for plenty of reasons. One is that we had to change a lot and obviously it is then difficult to deal with the different challenges in a game like this.

"The challenge today was that we played against Tottenham who set up a 5-3-2 and when they won the ball deep in their own half they just kicked it as far as possible and Kane and Son were on their bikes for it.

"We struggled in these moments slightly, that costs you obviously and it gives you some struggles a little bit because we think each ball we lose.

"So we had to reorganise our protection a little bit better in the second half and that we don't run always in a counter attack that makes no sense that Ibrahima Konate is involved in our offensive passing and Tyler Morton is the one who stands against Harry Kane. That's not really how it should be."
