Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was delighted after their 2-1 win at Liverpool.
The Reds lost 2-1, with Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota being sent off for the hosts during the game. An own goal from Joel Matip in injury-time saw Spurs win.
Postecoglou said, "Particularly the manner in which it happened, it leaves the real impact and impression on everyone involved. Another challenge for us today. We had to cope with a fair few things and show a different side of our game today. Second half I thought we were really good."
"It (playing nine men) doesn't make it easy. They've been top for a while, have a top mentality and are still dangerous on the counter-attack.
"We just tried to overdo things, rush things, do things individually and let them in the game in the first half. In the second half we were consistent with our pressure.
"It's important. We're still a team in its infancy in terms of the way we want to play, the age and experience of the group. The support behind us at home the last two games had been unbelievable, the energy they've given the lads. We're going to need that going forward, we'll have more challenges and particularly having the support behind us at home will make a big difference."
On the own goal, he said: "We've had a couple ourselves this year so that's part of football. We probably didn't get into those areas enough, that last cross I thought was a quality delivery into an area no defender likes to deal with."
