• Conte defended his team's tactics however, despite losing to an out-of-form Liverpool side

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has blasted Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who criticised Spurs' tactics last season.

A Mohamed Salah double was enough for the Reds to bounce back after two straight defeats in the Premier League.

However, Klopp's side were put under intense pressure for most of the second half as the hosts were chasing goals.

Still, according to Sky Sports, an improved second-half performance saw them score just once as the visitors ran away with a narrow 2-1 win.

Conte aims jibe at Klopp

After Liverpool beat Spurs on Sunday, November 6, Conte directed a dig at Klopp, sarcastically asking if the German liked his side's style, according to Metro.

"Before I answer the question - Jurgen was happy with the way that we played tonight, yeah? It was important to know his opinion. Jurgen is a really good coach but at the end, tonight we are talking about a defeat and I’m happy with the game that we played at Anfield. The final result was 1-1 and it was better."

After the 1-1 draw, Klopp made a controversial comment about Conte's brand of football, according to the Guardian.

"I am sorry, I am the wrong person to ask about because I don’t like this kind of football. But that is my personal problem. I think they are world-class and I think they should do more for the game."
