Tottenham caretaker boss Ryan Mason has hit back at Jurgen Klopp after criticism from the Liverpool manager.

Klopp says Spurs must play "better football" after Sunday's dramatic 4-3 win.

Mason responded, stating: "First of all I respect and admire Jurgen Klopp. I also respect Liverpool Football Club.

"But honestly in my current situation now and regardless of what happens in my coaching career, I don't believe I will ever be in a position where I can sit here and criticise another football club in the way they are doing things.

"Look, I will not create a war of words. That is my opinion on it. I don't think it will change in 20 years time.

"I don't think I will ever be in that position or earn the right to criticise another football club for how they want to try and win the game and how they feel is the best chance for them to win the game in that moment in time."

Mason also stated Oliver Skipp was fortunate to avoid serious injury after his flashpoint with Diogo Jota.

"Skippy is a very, very lucky boy," the former Tottenham midfielder added.

"He had a couple of gashes in his head, needed near to 10 stitches and we are talking about a couple of inches away from an eye problem.

"I think the overall feeling this week is we are quite grateful Skippy is okay and nothing too serious."
