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. There is now a 31-point gap between the sides that contested last season’s Champions League final as Spurs remain in eighth, nine points adrift of even the top four. 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.
