With a 3-1 lead at halftime thanks to goals from Curtis Jones, Luiz Diaz, and Mo Salah, it looked like Liverpool had all covered against Tottenham.
But nothing prepared Klopp and his boys for the fight Tottenham put up after the break, quite similar to their second-half display against Man Utd during the week.
After a handful of missed chances, the visitors reduced the deficit to 3-2 with 13 minutes to stoppage time, thanks to Son Heung-min, renewing their hope of a comeback.
Richarlison eventually grabbed what seemed like an equalizer in the 93rd minute but The Lilywhites has their celebrations cut short as Diogo Jota send home a winner for the hosts right at the nick of time, leaving Spurs really devasted.
The result from the pulsating encounter moved Liverpool to fifth on the log, seven points behind fourth-placed Man Utd who defeated Aston Villa 1-0, while Spurs are sixth, two points behind Liverpool.
