Jurgen Klopp’s men have now made the best ever start to an English top-flight campaign after 21 games with 61 points from a possible 63. Lo Celso’s miss left Jose Mourinho on his knees in anguish and the honeymoon period for the Tottenham manager is already over after just two wins in their last eight games in all competitions. Mourinho sprang a huge surprise with his team selection as Japhet Tanganga was handed his Premier League debut in defence. However, it was largely one-way traffic before half-time as Liverpool controlled the game and waited patiently for Spurs’ fragile defence to break. Salah could have put the game to bed before the break, but pulled his shot wide.
