Liverpool, on Sunday, held off a late charge from Tottenham after Mohamed Salah struck twice to win 2-1 in north London and lift themselves back into the Premier League top-four race.
Jurgen Klopp’s side had suffered shock defeats to relegation-threatened pair Nottingham Forest and Leeds in their last two league outings but started fast against Spurs, with a sharp touch and finish into the bottom corner from in-form Salah giving them the lead on 11 minutes.

Ivan Perisic had a header deflected onto the post by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson and Ryan Sessegnon saw a penalty shout from a challenge by Trent Alexander-Arnold waved away as Spurs came to life – but the Reds struck again just before the break thanks to a gift from Eric Dier.
The centre-back miscued a header towards his own goal and Salah raced through to chip in his ninth goal in eight games.
Tottenham were sent out early for the second half and – not for the first time this season – were better after the break, with Alisson again pushing a Perisic effort onto the woodwork before Harry Kane fired home a brilliant strike when played in by sub Dejan Kulusevski.
