Mauricio Pochettino acknowledged Liverpool were the better team after they subjected his Tottenham side to their second defeat in as many games in a 2-1 loss at Wembley on Saturday.
Spurs struggled to keep a lid on the Reds' forward impetus as goals from Gini Wijnaldum and Roberto Firmino maintained their early season winning streak - with Erik Lamela's stoppage time strike proving only to be a consolation for Tottenham.
However, Spurs had appeals for a penalty on the last play of the game denied by referee Michael Oliver after Liverpool's Sadio Mane appeared to have made unlawful contact with Heung-min Son in the penalty area.
