JURGEN KLOPP appeared to suffer a freak injury while celebrating Diogo Jota’s last-gasp goal against Tottenham.
The Portuguese attacker fired in a late winning goal for Liverpool just moments after Richarlison had appeared to earn Spurs a point.
During the elation, Klopp ran down the touchline towards the fourth official to celebrate, but then grabbed his hamstring in pain.
Luckily after taking a few steps with his hand on his thigh, he appeared to be OK.
The German then shared a chest bump with midfielder Curtis Jones in celebration of the three points.
Fans spotted the moment and flocked to social media to comment on the moment.

While a fifth added: “Jurgen is a nutbag.”
After the full time whistle, Sky Sports said that the German manager had to have some treatment on his hamstring.
When speaking about the winner, Klopp suggested that he has had an ongoing situation with referee Paul Tierney.
He told Sky Sports: “Very emotional of course, especially the situation before their third goal.
“How he can whistle when the linesman keeps his flag down. That is one situation that would not have happened if the ball was in that ended.”
“I don’t know what Mr Tierney has with us, he always will say it is nothing and it is not true. It cannot be, I have to say something, I don’t understand it.
“How he looks at me, I don’t understand it, really no problem with any people and with him as well.
“But again, he was refereeing at Tottenham, when Harry Kane did not get a red card. I don’t want him to get a red card, but it was a red card.
“But it was Mr Tierney and nobody asks him about it because they don’t have to clarify situations, so it is really tricky.
“My celebration aimed at the fourth official, did not say any bad words no nothing, but was unnecessary, and got punished for it immediately and I pulled my hamstring which is fair fine.
“But what he said to me then when he gave me the yellow card.”
When asked to elaborate, Klopp said: “No that is not possible, but it is not okay as well.”
Jota’s goal completed the scoring of one of the most thrilling games of the Premier League season.
Liverpool had raced into a three goal lead inside 15 minutes, leaving Spurs fans thinking they were going to be on the end of another hammering.
