Spurs replied within seconds as they took the lead through Harry Kane inside the first minute after Moussa Sissoko did brilliantly to evade the Reds midfield and pass it on to Heung-Min Son.

Gazzaniga kept being tested by Liverpool's attack, with Firmino and Wijnaldum both coming close in quick succession as the Reds sensed blood looking for a second in front of the Kop.

With a little under 20 minutes to go, Mane got on the right side of Serge Aurier, who inadvertently fouled the forward inside the box whilst attempting to make a clearance, with referee Anthony Taylor pointing to the spot.

Salah, who hadn't scored in his last three league games, stepped up to the mark and smashed the penalty past Gazzaniga, who could do nothing but watch the ball go past him, to make it 2-1 to the Reds.

Spurs thought they'd rolled in the ball for an equaliser just minutes later as Son found Kane in the box, who finished from close-range. However, the linesman had already flagged for an offside in the build-up.

Salah limped off the field in the closing stages as he looked to struggle with an ankle knock, with replacing the Egyptian to shore things up at the back.

Despite a late chance for Danny Rose, Liverpool held on for victory as they maintained a six-point lead over at the top of the table.
