Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has claimed there are 500 different ways to win a game, but he doesn't care how his side do it following the Reds' dramatic late win against Tottenham.
Toby Alderweireld scored a late own goal to give Liverpool a massive 2-1 victory, meaning they leapfrogged Manchester City to the summit of the Premier League once again.
City do have a game in hand against struggling Cardiff in midweek, though, and have the chance to once again pass Klopp's men.
Klopp was full of praise for his team, after a Lucas Moura equaliser in the second-half left some nerves around Anfield, following Roberto Firmino's initial opener.
"The crowd were outstanding, incredible atmosphere. They were really here to push us and at the end, it helped," Klopp told Sky Sports News.
"It's a big change, a big improvement. We have to get used to the situation, it's all good.
"It is only a positive. I said to the lads there are 500 ways to win a football game and today was slightly ugly. Who cares in the end? Who cares? That's the situation.
"I was not happy that we concede a goal but maybe we needed it. First-half we had chances but second-half, we could not relax, a little bit too late here.
"They changed from five to four, and we tried to change the system as well."
Liverpool will be keeping a close-eye on Man City's game against Cardiff on Wednesday night, where they welcome the 18th-placed Bluebirds to the Etihad Stadium.
Klopp has insisted his team must "fight like crazy" to stay in this season's title race, as we enter the last few matches.
"We compete with the best team in the world, in Man City, and we play in the competition against one of the best teams in the world in Tottenham! Haha! It is a tough task I would say," the Liverpool boss continued.
"City last year were champions and are still pretty good, look full of greed and desire and whatever else. We have to fight like crazy.
"If at the end of the season, we would be first, it must be kind of a fairy-tale, miracle or whatever."
