Jurgen Klopp praised his players' resilience as the Liverpool manager toasted to an "absolutely massive" victory at Tottenham on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah scored twice in the first half before Harry Kane responded with 20 minutes to go, but the Reds held firm during a difficult second period where their defensive qualities had to be relied upon.
In a weekend where Chelsea and Manchester United both lost, Liverpool moved up to eighth and are now seven behind Spurs in fourth with a game in hand to be played next year.
