Liverpool's win over Tottenham on Thursday night was the latest milestone in Jurgen Klopp's domination over Jose Mourinho.

The Reds reignited their title charge with the 3-1 victory, completing the double over Spurs after beating them 2-1 at Anfield last month.

The results also extended Klopp's record against Mourinho to seven wins out of 13 meetings – with the Portuguese boss having won just two of their clashes in all competitions.

Five of Klopp's victories over his rival have come in the Premier League.

And that means the Liverpool boss now has as many wins over Mourinho in England's top flight as three of the Premier League's greatest managers combined.

Pep Guardiola has masterminded three wins over Mourinho sides in the division.

And it is no surprise that Arsene Wenger only posted one, with Mourinho frequently getting the better of the legendary Arsenal boss when he was in charge at Chelsea.

And even Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson only managed one league win over Mourinho during the latter's time in the Stamford Bridge hotseat.

Mourinho won seven of his 16 meetings with the Old Trafford guru, losing only three times.

Klopp clearly has Mourinho in his pocket, with the Spurs manager's win rate against his Liverpool counterpart now just 15% – his worst against any rival.

Klopp has won all three games of Liverpool's games against Spurs since the 58-year-old took charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And he has guided his Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund sides to victories over Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United teams managed by Mourinho.

Klopp also has the best record against Pep Guardiola, having won nine of their 20 meetings in all competitions, with the Manchester City boss and former Bayern Munich chief victorious in eight.

Mourinho has managed seven wins against Guardiola, losing 11 of their 24 clashes, with the two having been fierce rivals when they were in charge of Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.
