Jurgen Klopp has called the Anfield crowd "really unbelievable" for keeping the faith in Liverpool's players towards the end of Sunday's dramatic 2-1 win over Tottenham.

Liverpool were facing the prospect of two dropped points after Lucas Moura had cancelled out Roberto Firmino's first-half opener to set up a nail-biting finish.

"For me, when we scored [to make it] 2-1, it was relief as well. It was not like bouncing around and stuff like that," Klopp told the club's website.
