Rodgers told BT Sport.
“It was 93 minutes of really good work. We showed good resilience in defence. The goals we scored were terrific.
“To concede the equaliser was disappointing to happen so late, but the winner was a very poor goal to concede.
“It is hard to not have taken anything from the game.
“It’s managing the game. Fundamentally, We missed out on key moments leading to the second goal and the third goal, You knows he can never make that pass, it was really naive of him.
“That was a great opportunity, but you have to see that through. I don’t think Tottenham won the game, we presented them the three points.
“It’s bitterly disappointing but we have to get back on the training pitch and prepare again for the weekend.”
