Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has dismissed the opportunity to discuss Liverpool's defeat away to Bournemouth.
The Reds missed the chance to go fourth after they were beaten 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League's early kick-off on Saturday. Philip Billing scored the only goal of the game with his instinctive first-half strike dragging Jurgen Klopp's side back down to earth.
A win would've put Liverpool above their Tottenham as they both battle it out to claim a Champions League place in the latter stages of the top-flight campaign. Following last weekend's 7-0 humiliation of fierce rivals Manchester United, an opportunity presented itself to the Reds to leapfrog Spurs prior to the afternoon kick-offs.

However, after Liverpool lost, Spurs returned to winning ways as they dispatched Steve Cooper's Nottingham Forest side 3-1 at home thanks mainly to Harry Kane's double. But Conte, whose side exited the Champions League in midweek, was in no mood to discuss the Reds' slip-up.
"We have to think about ourselves and earlier I was asked about Liverpool losing. We have to think about ourselves," he said.
"A top club has to look at themselves, not at other results. Think about getting the three points and then it doesn’t matter what the other team does.
"We have to do the best we can until the end of the season and then see where we are."
