The Reds won 2-1 thanks to Ekitike's brace, with Tottenham having Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero sent off at both ends of the game.
Ekitike said at the final whistle: "The best feeling as a striker. You need goals. The most important is the win and to play with confidence, and obviously if I can help with goals.
“The first goal I helped with the pass before the assist, so I try to help the team the best as I can and that’s the most important.”
He added: “It wasn’t our best game, a difficult game, but we had the control. It was difficult in the last part of the second half because they pushed and they scored. We kept the result and we go back to Liverpool with the win, that is the most important thing.
“It is never easier (to play against 10 men). They play at home, the fans push them and they have more energy, more than at the start.
“That makes it more difficult, so you have to play smart and to fight for every ball.”
