Tottenham exerted pressure and domination early on, but Liverpool was creating clear-cut goal opportunities.

Near the right touchline, Salah tried an outside-of-the-boot cross, but it hit the crossbar and bounced clear. The forward’s effort was subsequently blocked by Guglielmo Vicario, and Elliott’s attempt to score from the rebound was foiled on the line.

However, Salah would not be stopped after twenty-five minutes. From Gakpo’s ball, he headed in at the back post to give the home team an advantage that was inevitable.

The affair grew more obvious as the half came to an end. Both sides mounted counterattacks after Gakpo’s request for a penalty was turned down, but none of them produced chances on goal.

Despite attempts to shoot wide and curly by Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Elliott, and Vicario, the Reds would lead by two goals at the half.

Robertson was in position to head home a few yards out after Salah’s finish was blocked by the Spurs goalkeeper.

Following the 15-minute intermission, Liverpool’s momentum was unaffected. Salah wasted a great chance from inside the box right before the goal was added.

Elliott tenaciously pinched the ball off Emerson Royal and clipped it into the area where Gakpo was poised to drive past Vicario.

Conversely, Alisson Becker had to make his first save of the match by crouching down to repel a header from Brennan Johnson.

The greatest of the lot came just after the hour, showing that the Reds had plenty more scoring left in them.

Jürgen Klopp grinned broadly as Elliott curled a long ball perfectly into the upper left corner of the net, rendering Vicario ineffective.

Although Richarlison and Son’s goals put an end to Spurs’ hopes of salvaging something, Salah’s miss in front of Vicario’s goal could have ended them.

To catch the stopper off guard, Alexander-Arnold also attempted a shot that landed on the ceiling of the net around the midway line.

Alisson had to deflect a shot from Richarlison that appeared to be headed in, but Joe Gomez did enough to stop Johnson from entering.

Vicario denied Darwin Nunez in the last minute of the seven-minute additional time, but the whistle that announced Liverpool’s victory blew right away.
