Three simple words.
Jurgen Klopp made a beeline for Harry Kane following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
The England striker had scored the equaliser in the game, with a very well taken finish, and Klopp wanted to show his appreciation with a hug and some words of encouragement.

Kane revealed that Klopp’s message was short and sweet, and while he was happy to receive praise from the German, the 22 year old was also quick to play it down.
“He just said three words – ‘what a strike’ – which is nice to hear from an opposition manager,” Kane said.
“If I scored another one he might not have done that!”
Kane’s strike took him to 22 Premier League goals for the season, a record for Spurs.
However, Saturday’s draw, combined with Leicester City’s 1-0 win on Sunday against Southampton, leaves Mauricio Pochettino’s side seven points off the league leaders in the title race.
