Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho refuses to blame his side's 1-0 defeat against Liverpool on the absence of injured star striker Harry Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has refused to bemoan the absence of injured striker Harry Kane following his side's wasteful display against Liverpool on Saturday.

Spurs had 14 shots against the runaway league leaders but could not find a way through as they fell to a 1-0 defeat, with Son Heung-min and Giovani Lo Celso particularly guilty of missing clear late chances.

The contest was Tottenham's first league outing since Kane suffered a hamstring injury which will keep him out until April, but Mourinho was content with how his side performed without their top-scorer and talisman.

"It would be very easy to say 'all these low crosses that were across the face of goal, with Harry Kane one touch, one goal, probably two touches, two goals'," Mourinho told reporters at his post-match press conference.

"It would be very easy for me to say that and to take the press conference around Harry Kane, [Moussa] Sissoko and what we don't have. It's OK. We don't have Harry Kane. I hope that everything went well in the surgery and I hope that he has three months in peace to recover.

"I don't want to speak about him. He is irreplaceable, but the boys did fantastic the way they tried. They gave everything and I don't want to speak more than this. I'm happy with what the players gave."

The result means that Spurs have now lost back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time this season.
