Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler believes the Reds looked 'back to their best' in the 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday evening in North London.
Mohamed Salah 's first half double was enough to give Jurgen Klopp's side all three points as Harry Kane pulled a goal back for Spurs in the second period.
The win took Liverpool to within seven points of the top four in the Premier League with Southampton up next at Anfield on Saturday afternoon in the last match before the break for the World Cup.

Liverpool's display in the first half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was one of their best of the season as they dominated Antonio Conte's side and looked more organised than they have on many occasions this campaign.
"Well Liverpool were a lot better and they were probably more organised as they have been for a while," said Fowler to Midnite. "There were spells where they were under the cosh in the second half but they stood tall and have been the Liverpool we've seen in the past where they've dug out wins. They started off brilliantly,
"I don't think anyone can fault the way Liverpool attack and score goals. But one of the problems they have had is conceding goals and they've done yesterday what I've been crying out for Liverpool to do for a long time now. Get into a lead and you don't need to go out and win the game all the time, you need to go out and just stay stable.
"You let the other teams focus on what they need to do and force them into mistakes. That's what Liverpool did, it wasn't a comfortable win by any means, but it was a great one because it's the first time since May that the team has won away from home in the Premier League.
"So it's been a long time coming. Liverpool deserved it by the way they played, and the way they work for each other. The way they handle the game and they handle the pressure because as much as Conte gets a little bit of stick on him, he has a way of playing and certainly on the counter so it can hurt a lot of teams. Liverpool stood tall and defended really well which is what you need to do to win those games."
