Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was left frustrated after their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.

At 2-0 down a 93rd minute Erik Lamela goal had Spurs back in the game before Heung-min Son was grounded by Sadio Mane in the penalty area moments later.

Referee Michael Oliver waved away protests immediately though replays showed that he had made the wrong call.

“I think everyone saw it was very clearly a penalty on Son from Mane," he said.

“I think we should be talking in a different way now, if it was given it's 2-2 if we score the goal. Now talking about character and personality. But that is not going to change with different results. We need to improve a lot.

“I told you after Newcastle, Fulham and Old Trafford like in Watford and today, the circumstances are the circumstances and the reality the reality.

“We need to still improve and improve a lot. This type of game shows you that we need to improve if we want to contend in the end to win some title."
