It was an undeserved result – Mourinho frustrated as Liverpool leave it late to beat Spurs

Jose Mourinho insists Tottenham were playing for all three points as their 11-game unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end against Liverpool on Wednesday. 

Roberto Firmino headed home a 90th-minute winner for the champions after Son Heung-min had earlier cancelled out Mohamed Salah’s opener at Anfield. 

Son’s goal was one of only two shots on target from Spurs, while Liverpool forced Hugo Lloris into nine saves before Firmino finally condemned the visitors to a second defeat of the league campaign.

Despite that, Mourinho feels his side were hard done by and deserved a point at the very least. 

“We were playing to win, we were not playing to get a point,” he told BBC’s Match of the Day. “A point would have been quite a fair result but we played to win and had the biggest chances to win it. 

“The game was always under control. I feel it was a very undeserved result, but that’s football.
