Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino believes that his side deserved at least a point against Liverpool at Anfield.

A late Mario Balotelli goal gave Liverpool a 3-2 win, which puts the Reds just one point behind Spurs in the Premier League table, and Pochettino admitted that his players are disappointed with the result.

He told BT Sport: "We are disappointed with the result because I think one point would have been fair for both teams. It was a great game, we played well but this is football. The players are very disappointed, sad and tired but we have to accept football is like this.

"I am proud of the effort and we have to look forward. The only thing we need to improve, in the first half we gave Liverpool some chances and made some mistakes. We deserved more from this game."

Spurs next face Fiorentina in the Europa League next week.
