Spurs ace Kulusevski tells Klopp: We deserved our win

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski was furious at suggestions of their Premier League clash with Liverpool being replayed.

Spurs won a contentious encounter earlier this season, scoring in the last minute to claim a 2-1 home success.

The Reds had two men sent off in the game, while a Luis Diaz goal was incorrectly ruled out for offside.

When asked about Reds boss Jurgen Klopp's comments asking for the game to be replayed, Kulusevski told Fotbollskanalen: “I don't think anything will happen. Mistakes happen in every game.

“It was just a mistake, and they were very angry that they got zero points even though they played a good game, and I understand them. [A replay] has probably never happened and I don't think it will happen.

“There are so many mistakes every match, it's absolutely insane. Sure, it was a big mistake in a top game and they were obviously very disappointed because it affected the game. But I can find mistakes in every match. So it's part of the game and you move on.

“We were really good. We played really well when it was 11 against 11. Then they got a lot better when they got a man sent off and we got a little worse.

“Then they got another man sent off. Both red cards were fair, 100 percent. Then we had a hard time scoring a goal and in the last second, they scored an own goal. It was incredibly heavy for Liverpool and really important for us."
