It was Salah who again proved to be the difference, scoring twice, including the late penalty that sealed all three points. The Egyptian’s coolly-taken spot-kick took his Champions League tally to 31 for Liverpool, meaning he has overtaken Steven Gerrard to go out in front all on his own. It is the latest proof of just how special Salah is, with his total coming in just 48 appearances. Here’s a...
He has scored eight goals in his last 13 starts against Spurs in all competitions – six for the Reds and one each for Basel and Fiorentina. Fowler, with six, has scored more Premier League goals against Spurs than any Liverpool player, with Salah and Roberto Firmino amongst those on five.
