Mauricio Pochettino has congratulated the officials in Tottenham Hotspur's 2-2 draw at Liverpool for being "right in every single decision".
Sunday's Premier League encounter at Anfield was laden with drama and controversy, with Harry Kane awarded two penalties towards the latter stages of the game.
The first spot kick came about when Kane was brought down by Loris Karius after Dejan Lovren's miscued attempt at a clearance sent the striker through on goal, but the Reds keeper saved the penalty with the scoreline at 1-1.
Mohamed Salah then put Jurgen Klopp's charges ahead in the first minute of injury time, but when Virgil van Dijk caught Erik Lamela with an attempted clearance four minutes in, the assistant referee flagged and Kane did not miss second time around.
Pochettino was seen running onto the pitch at full time to celebrate with his players and went over to have a word with referee Jon Moss and his officials.
When asked by Sky Sports News what he said to Moss and his assistant, Pochettino replied: "I congratulated the referee.
"To show that sort of character. It was difficult to know at the time if they were right, but in the dressing room I confirmed that they were right in every single decision.
"Sometimes we complain about them - I don't as I decided a long time ago to stop complaining. It's important to recognise when they are right because it's a very difficult job for them.
"If Dejan Lovren doesn't touch the ball, he's offside, but it's clear that he touched the ball, so he's onside. The second one is a clear foul by Virgil van Dijk - it's an amazing decision as the referee and the assistant are so focused. I have to congratulate them as it's a very difficult decision."
Tottenham return to Premier League action on Saturday with the North London derby against Arsenal at Wembley, but have a midweek FA Cup fourth-round home replay with Newport County to contend with first.
