You know you're doing well when even your rivals are paying you compliments.

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. https://twitter.com/sluggahjells/status/716330517826826244?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw 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.
