LONDON. — Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expressed optimism about his team’s progress despite the frustration of a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.

James Milner put Liverpool ahead with a 43rd-minute penalty in Saturday’s game, but the visitors could not make their superiority count and conceded a 72nd-minute equaliser to Danny Rose.

Having beaten Arsenal and then lost at Burnley, Klopp’s men have only four points after three games, but he felt their display against Spurs demonstrated they are on the right track.

“This game showed again what we can do, how we can play. It was not only about pressing and things like this,” Klopp told his post-match press conference. “We did it really good, but we’re really flexible in offensive defending. We had wonderful moments with passing and all that stuff, the direction in our game. I wish we could have won it, but now we have to accept a point and that’s no problem because it’s Tottenham. They scored a goal and they could have won too. — AFP.
