Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has heaped praise on Roberto Firmino after he scored the winning goal in the team's win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

The Brazil international was on hand to finish in the first period, as the Reds were able to earn a 1-0 win in the capital. It was a victory that put Liverpool a massive 16 points clear at the summit of the table ahead of Manchester City's trip to Aston Villa on Sunday.

After the game, Klopp said Firmino was actually apologetic as he felt he should have been on the scoresheet on more than one occasion, per Guy Atkinson of Goal:

"When I went to him and wanted to give him a hug after the game, he wanted to stop and talk first.
