Tottenham HotspurJose Mourinho’s disappointment was tangible after our late 2-1 loss at Liverpool on Wednesday night.
Roberto Firmino hit us with the hammer blow in added time after Heung-Min Son had levelled Mo Salah’s deflected effort in the first half.
The key phase came at the start of the second half as we created a number of chances. Steven Bergwijn slid one wide and then struck the inside of the post. Not long after that, Harry Kane headed Sonny’s corner down and over from close range.
It looked like it was going to end 1-1 but Andy Robertson swung over a late corner and Firmino powered a header into the top corner, our first defeat in the Premier League since the season's opening day.
I’m disappointed because we deserved much more, but that’s the way it is
Jose said: “If it was a draw, I wouldn’t be jumping with happiness, because the draw would be the minimum for what we did, so to lose it is hard, but we lost.
“We had chances in the moment they were suffering. Of course, I know it’s a word people love, possession, but for me it’s not (about) possession, it’s what you do when you have the ball, how dangerous you are when you have the ball, and in the second half, we got in the face of the goalkeeper two or three times, and we have to score to win the game, period. There is no story. Score the goal, three points, go home and no more talk.
“I’m disappointed because we deserved much more, but that’s the way it is.”
