Jurgen Klopp has claimed that Liverpool's game away at Tottenham in December was "very, very strange". Playing out a 2-2 draw in north London on a day when both sides had to do without a handful of key players, there were a couple of notable incidents in the game, including Andy Robertson's dismissal and Harry Kane avoiding the same fate.
Looking set to leave Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with all three points, Son Heung-min denied Liverpool victory in the final 15 minute of the contest after capitalising on an Alisson error. Speaking about the outcome of the Premier League title race after taking it to the final day with a 2-1 victory at Southampton on Tuesday evening, Klopp namechecked the draws away at Chelsea and Spurs when discussing his hopes for the weekend.
"We all know it is that close, so many things happen during the season but we never give up, that is how it is," he told Sky Sports after the win on the south coast. "The games away at Chelsea and Tottenham, we didn’t have to win, but if you watch the Tottenham game, that game was very, very strange. That’s it, here we are and we will not give up. We will give it a try and it is difficult enough against Wolves but we will still give it a try."
