Liverpool ran out 4-2 winners against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Egypt international Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 16th minute and Andy Robertson scored for the second consecutive game to make it 2-0 right on the stroke of half-time.

Cody Gakpo netted the hosts’ third early into the second period, before Harvey Elliott added another in style with an emphatic, curling strike from distance.

Richarlison and Son Heung-min reduced the deficit for Spurs in the final 20 minutes but they had left themselves with too much to do. An outside-of-the-boot cross near the right touchline from Salah ended up striking the crossbar and bouncing clear.

The forward then had a shot saved by the feet of Guglielmo Vicario, with Elliott’s follow-up on the rebound blocked on the line.

But Salah was not to be denied after a quarter of an hour had been played, heading in at the back post from Gakpo’s delivery to give the hosts a lead that had been coming.
