Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham: Mohamed Salah penalty seals comeback win for Premier League leaders at Anfield

Liverpool restored their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 comeback win over Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday.

Harry Kane put Spurs ahead with a header after just 47 seconds, and superb goalkeeping from Paulo Gazzaniga sent Spurs into half-time a goal ahead.

Heung-min Son had a great chance to double Spurs' lead on the break after the interval, but his shot from an acute angle cannoned back off the crossbar - and it proved a costly miss for the visitors.

Jordan Henderson volleyed home a rare goal after 51 minutes, and Serge Aurier clumsily fouled Sadio Mane in the box to concede a penalty 15 minutes from time.

Mohamed Salah stepped up to drill home the spot-kick to boost Liverpool's belief that this could be their year for the title, while consigning Spurs to yet another defeat.
