The hosts were the dominant side as they pressed all through the 90 minutes, recording above 70% in ball possession.

Heung-Min Son cancelled Salah's lead in the 33rd minute.

Spurs Head Coach thought his side had successfully clinched a point from the game but Firmino's late winner ensured Jurgen Klopp's men grabbed all three points to move them back to the top.

The victory meant so much to Reds Boss Klopp as he lifted Senegalese forward Sadio Mane clean off his feet, went on to embrace all his players and then producing his trademark triple fist-pump for the supporters on the Kop.

Liverpool are League toppers with 28 points while Tottenham trail with 25 points.
