Tottenham ace James Maddison insists they deserved their 2-1 win against Liverpool.

The Reds lost 2-1, with Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota being sent off for the hosts during the game. An own goal from Joel Matip in injury-time saw Spurs win.

Maddison said, "Doing it like that is the hard and the long way. That feeling is very rare, when we beat Sheffield United I said I hadn't felt that in years. If you could bottle that you could sell it for millions and millions.

We don't like it easy do we? That is digging in, that's character, and I'm proud of them.

"The feeling after Sheffield United is something I've never really felt before in terms of a togetherness between everyone at the club. You see the faces on fans, stewards, there's a feeling. That's going to help. The smiles are going to be a little bigger tonight.

"It's one of those like 'I hope it's not going to be one of them, especially against nine men'. We gave away a sloppy goal I think. To go to the death like that and keep going, there were groans and whatnot. Pedro got into a dangerous position, put a ball in, and then we charged down the touchline."
