(CNN)“Ugly” was Jurgen Klopp’s assessment of the way his Liverpool team eked out a thrilling last-gasp 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday as the Merseyside club returned to the top of the Premier League.
It might have been ugly, but the victory sent Liverpool’s Anfield crowd into delirium — their delight is perhaps understandable given the team they support last won the league title 29 years ago.
If there was ecstasy for Liverpool, there was primarily agony for Spurs after the match was decided by Toby Alderweireld’s own goal in the 90th minute.
