The title challengers also equal the Premier League record of 28 points after the opening 10 features. Each of the three teams to catch themselves in such a position at this period of the season – Chelsea in 2005-06, Manchester City in 2011-12 and 2017-18 – has ultimately been crowned champions.

Harry Kane’s opening goal inside the first minute helpless to upset all that. On behalf of Tottenham and Mauricio Pochettino becoming the first team to win at Anfield in 44 attempts could have been a turning point in their unhappy start to the season.

An interesting display by second-choice goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga gave them every chance of a famous success. His 12 protects were the most in a Premier League game for nearly two years.

But Spurs resolution was broken by Henderson at the start of the first half and their defeat was all but certain when Serge Aurier fouled Sadio Mané inside the price area with 15 minutes remaining.

It was an unsuccessful way to lose but trying to protect a lead against Liverpool is a risky business and a gamble that was never likely to pay off. It took only 47 seconds for the shape of the game to be established.

Kane’s advance came accidentally. Son’s shot from the power of the area bounced his way after bouncing off Dejan Lovren and hitting the woodwork but Tottenham had made their own luck.

The move which led to the goal was brilliant perceptive counter-attacking. After Henderson lost possession in Tottenham’s half, Moussa Sissoko surged through Liverpool’s midfield bypassing both Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum.

He played in Son and Kane did well to antedate the path of the South Korean’s attack following it in towards Alisson’s goal then responding quickest to change with a low round-shouldered goal.

Fast afterward less than a minute Tottenham now needed to defend their lead for another 89 plus strike time. It always seemed a tall order mostly once Liverpool began to test Gazzaniga.

Four protects in quick series denied them an equalizer with Salah Roberto Firmino, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold all frustrated. The previous of those stops was finest with Alexander-Arnold’s pile-driver brilliantly pushed away.

Klopp told his players at half time that the only problem was the scoreline though that could easily have been intensified at the start of the second half.

Gazzaniga twisted playmaker with a long punt downfield towards Son who had briefly escaped Lovren’s care. He rounds Alisson but was compulsory wide by the Liverpool goalkeeper and from a narrow-angle could only hit the public house.

A two-goal lead would have been a completely different plan but Liverpool soon established the parity that their power deserved. Opposing his standing for safe and old-style play.

Henderson had started taking up more advanced positions down the right. A ball over the top by the excellent Fabinho came his way off Danny Rose’s shoulder and a rubbed finish into the ground finally had Gazzaniga beaten.

Liverpool did not let up but the second only inwards from the price spot. Aurier initially won the ball from Mané but in attempting to make permission he hacked at the back of Senegalese’s right leg.

Umpire Anthony Taylor was in no disbelief and Tottenham could have few complaints. Gazzaniga could not avoid Salah from scoring his 50th Anfield goal in 58 games.

First Roger Hunt has reached that ground-breaking in fewer matches. There were a handful of late scares for Liverpool as the pattern of play wrong way up and they somewhat than Tottenham tried to hold out for three points.

However, on the overall balance of play Klopp and his players justified this important win their third victory against a ‘top six’ club of the season. Additional in their next league home game against Manchester City in a fortnight’s time would be most welcome.
