And while Liverpool certainly had chances of its own to re-extend the lead, Tottenham fans felt aggrieved that referee Paul Tierney did not point to the spot following a challenge by Joe Gomez on Brennan Johnson.

Over the years, Klopp has had plenty of run-ins with Tierney, who certainly could never be accused of a pro-Liverpool bias.

He believes the right outcome was reached.

"Difficult to give a penalty when a player clearly gets the ball first," Gallagher explained.

"But massive risk making a challenge like this, because if he makes contact with the player before the ball, it's certainly going to be a penalty — because of how high his boot's going to be.

"But without doubt he does get the ball.

Comparisons will inevitably be drawn with other high-foot incidents, such as the Jérémy Doku and Alexis Mac Allister incident, but it seems fairly clear that this was good defending by Gomez, not an infringement.

Liverpool.com says: There's no inconsistency in feeling Mac Allister should have had a penalty but also that Gomez was correctly not punished.

In reality, the incidents are like chalk and cheese.

Where Doku kicked into the chest of Mac Allister, Gomez was stretching to clear a bouncing ball and Johnson moved 'into his space'.

The VAR erroneously described the Man City incident in those same terms, but it's actually applicable here.

At the same time, it's hard to deny that Gomez was taking a chance.
