Liverpool player ratings as Mohamed Salah and two others superb in win at Tottenham

Alisson Becker 7

Got enough on ball – even if unintentional – to divert Perisic header on to post, and long ball helped set up second. Almost caught out by Kane second half, though, and put under lot of pressure.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 7

Two great crossfield passes prompted gasps from the crowd but survived first-half penalty claim after contact on Sessegnon. Targeted by Tottenham after break but wasn’t deterred..

Ibrahima Konate 8

Mixed bag before break of some decisive defending followed by a spate of misjudged passes. Second half tougher with Kane in mood, but stuck to task and vital clearing headers late on.

VERDICT: Jurgen Klopp will have loved what Tottenham fans did moments before Liverpool win confirmed

Virgil van Dijk 7

Strong up against Kane, although almost caused issues with one missed clearance. Pace of Kulusevski a more difficult challenge. Dominant in air.

Andy Robertson 8

Another barnstorming display down the left, creating chance for Nunez and then finding same player to create first. Tenacious in his defending.

Fabinho 7

Another much-improved showing from the Brazilian, whose positioning was matched by positive distribution. Had to get through a lot of work second half.

Harvey Elliott 7

Involved in build-up to first goal and put in a real shift both going forward and defending. Linked play well. Subbed.

Thiago Alcantara 6

Slightly wayward start but soon grew into the game and kept Liverpool at high tempo before break but difficult to sustain it after that.

Mohamed Salah 9

Gave Davies a tough time and took his two first-half goals superbly, not least the first with a quick touch and shot on turn. Dangerous whenever drifting infield. Subbed.

Roberto Firmino 6

Enjoys himself against Tottenham and prospered when dropping a little deeper and allowing Salah space to combine, but hounded out of it second half. Subbed.

Darwin Nunez 7

Always a threat driving in from the left, tested Lloris with good shot early on and laid on opener for Salah. Subbed.

Curtis Jones (for Elliott 74) 6

Slotted in on the left as Liverpool looked to ease pressure.

Jordan Henderson (for Firmino 74) 6

Largely defensive effort as Tottenham dominated after break.

Joe Gomez (for Nunez 87)

Made it a back five for the closing minutes.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (for Salah 90+2)

Win bonus.
