• Liverpool left it very late in their clash against Tottenham Hotspur on April 30
• Diogo Jota scored a last-minute winner, sending Jurgen Klopp into hysterics
• The Reds boss appeared to pull his hamstring while reeling away in celebration

Jurgen Klopp inadvertently added himself to Liverpool’s injury list as he appeared to pull a hamstring while celebrating his team’s late winner versus Tottenham.

The German tactician is known for his over-the-top celebrations on the touchline, particularly when his team produces impressive performances and results.

On Sunday, Liverpool welcomed Tottenham to Anfield, knowing three points would be enough to leapfrog their opponents.

The Reds made a bright start, going 3-0 up in 15 minutes, but Tottenham again showed immense character, particularly in the second half.

After Harry Kane pulled one back in the first half, goals from Heung-Min Son and Richarlison seemed to hint Ryan Mason's side would claw to another draw.

However, the drama was not over as Diogo Jota capitalised on a defensive lapse from Tottenham with seconds to go, to score from a tight angle.

The goal sent the Liverpool technical area into a state of celebration, with Klopp making a brief sprint before stopping in his tracks and clutching his hamstring.

Despite the injury, Klopp still earned himself a yellow card as he made his way to fourth official, John Brooks, getting in his face.

After the game, the German manager was asked about the injury, and he said, as per ThisisAnfield.com:

“I’m not sure it’s a hamstring. It could be an adductor as well. It’s painful.”

The Liverpool boss was also quick to admit his celebration was unnecessary.

 Jota lucky to escape red

Sports Brief also reported on Liverpool's Diogo Jota escaping a red card after catching Spurs' Oliver Skipp with a high boot to the face.

Skipp was left bloodied after being caught flush with the studs, and many fans contended the Reds player should have been sent off.

Instead, Jota went on to score a last-gasp winner to spare Liverpool the embarrassment of losing in front of their Anfield home fans.
