In a match best described as barely-believable, Liverpool took a 3-0 lead over Spurs inside 15 minutes on Sunday before Tottenham stunned Anfield with three of their own, culminating in Richarlison's equalizer at 90+3'.
But Diogo Jota earned all three points for Liverpool at 90+4', and in the ensuing bedlam manager Jürgen Klopp twanged his hamstring while pointedly celebrating the goal in the fourth official's face.
Warning: If you've pulled your hamstring before, this clip will conjure painful memories. You can almost feel this video.

Klopp was sorry for his actions and viewed the injury as a deserved bit of karma.
"My celebration towards the fourth official, I didn't say any bad words. But was unnecessary. I got punished for that immediately, pulled my hamstring."
