Tottenham midfielder Hojbjerg: Liverpool defeat was embarrassing

Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has branded the manner of defeat at Liverpool on Sunday as "embarrassing".

Spurs fought back from 3-0 down to draw 3-3, before Diogo Jota grabbed a 94th minute winner for the Reds.

Hojbjerg recalled, "It was very devastating how the match ended. I would actually go so far as to say it was embarrassing.

"We went from being behind 0-3 to making a fantastic comeback - only to throw it away at the last second.

"Normally it is Liverpool who make a comeback at their stadium, but now we did it against them."

On the season overall, the Dane also said: "I think it is important to understand that when you have had three coaches in a short time, there is great instability.

"We know that it is part of this world that there will be periods of instability and security, but there will also be periods of good momentum."
