Antonio Conte accuses Klopp of looking for excuses after Spurs draw

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte saw his side hold Liverpool last time out (Peter Byrne/PA).

Antonio Conte says Jurgen Klopp was looking for an “excuse or an alibi” when he criticised Tottenham’s style of play following their 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Spurs were more than worthy of their point after they put in a resilient defensive display to stop the title chasers and they could easily have left Anfield with all three points had they been more clinical in attack.
