The German coach himself couldn’t contain his joy, and he ran and celebrated Jota’s goal, which caused him muscle tension in his thigh area.
Video clips of the Liverpool manager showed him holding the back of the thigh muscle, as he returned to his team’s substitute seats.
Substitute Jota scored in the dying moments of stoppage time to give Liverpool a thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur and revive their hopes of qualifying for the European Championship next season.
Moments before the fatal goal, substitute Richarlison equalized for Tottenham, who rose brilliantly after being 3-0 down in the first quarter of an hour.
But Jota’s goal from substitute Lucas Moura sparked celebrations at Anfield.
Liverpool secured their fourth straight win, jumping to fifth place with 56 points from 33 games, two points behind sixth-placed Tottenham, who have played 34 games and scored one point in the last four matches.
Despite this, it looks difficult for Liverpool to enter the Carré d’Or and qualify for the Champions League next season, as they are seven points behind fourth-placed Manchester United, who have played 32 matches.
The fifth and sixth-placed teams qualify for next season’s Europa League.
