Klopp: Politics mustn't come before football

Mohamed Salah cleverly fashioned one goal and was gifted another as Liverpool claimed a 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Salah opened the scoring after 11 minutes when he expertly controlled a pass from Darwin Nunez inside the area, turned and fired a low shot into the corner with his left foot. His second goal five minutes before half-time was a gift from Eric Dier who miscued a header from a kick downfield by Alisson and the Egyptian ran clear and dinked the ball past Hugo Lloris.

The hosts had their moments with Ivan Perisic hitting the woodwork in each half and they could have had a penalty when Ryan Sessegnon was bundled over by Trent Alexander-Arnold. After the break, Spurs raised their game, boosted by Dejan Kulusevski returning from injury off the bench. He had an almost instant impact as he fed Harry Kane who scored in the 70th minute

But Liverpool weathered the storm to claim the win and end a run of two Premier League defeats, leaving them eighth on 19 points after 13 games. Spurs slipped to fourth on 26 from 14.

Relive the action as Liverpool downed Spurs in the Premier League:

Half-time: Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

45+1 mins: A lack of quality in the final third was the defining characteristic of that first half. Arsenal created the better chances and should have scored through Gabriel Jesus but Chelsea seem comfortable enough out of possession.

The first goal could be a crucial one at Stamford Bridge this afternoon. Nothing to separate the teams at the break.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

42 mins: Bukayo Saka skips by Marc Cucurella but clips him and takes out the Arsenal winger. The referee lets play go on much to Mikel Arteta’s displeasure but Saka is back on his feet quickly.

Cucurella looks to bring the ball back down Chelsea’s left side but a frustrated Saka closes him down and knocks him over. Yellow card for the Arsenal winger.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

39 mins: Arsenal are struggling in the final third. They’re playing through the lines brilliantly but lack a bit of creativity in and around the penalty area.

Odegaard has a through ball blocked off but it rebounds out to Xhaka who flicks a pass over to Jesus on the left. Jesus crosses one into the middle but a deflection loops the ball kindly up to Edouard Mendy in goal.

36 mins: Chance! Encouraging signs for Chelsea as Jorginho fizzes the ball out to Sterling on the right wing. He drives down the pitch before sliding a lovely pass behind the defence into the penalty area.

Kai Havertz recovers the ball and is torn between a square pass and a shot. In the end he does neither and softly knocks the ball at Aaron Ramsdale who makes no mistakes in keeping it out.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

33 mins: Thiago Silva comes through the back of Martin Odegaard to win the ball but he take out the man instead. There are a few groans around the stadium as Arsenal win yet another free kick.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

31 mins: Close! This is the best chance of the half. Arsenal burst forward down the left wing with Xhaka and Martinelli combining. Martinelli is given the ball and cuts inside before flicking a cross to the back post.

Gabriel Jesus runs through the lines and gets a head to the ball but he misses the target and sends his effort wide of the nearest post.

That was close but Jesus should have done better. He has to hit the target there at the very least.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

28 mins: Yellow card! Ben White works the ball down the right side and gets hit by a late lunging tackle from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who goes in the book.

Mikel Arteta is fuming on the sidelines over that challenge. Ben White is okay though.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

25 mins: Chelsea are awarded a free kick on the inside left part of Arsenal’s final third. Cucurella floats the ball into the penalty area where it gets brought down by Trevoh Chalobah.

Chalobah flicks one back into the middle but Granit Xhaka rises above everyone else and heads it clear.

Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal

22 mins: Chance! Arsenal come at Chelsea again and it’s Jesus causing the problems with a tricky run inside from the left. He weaves around two defenders whilst looking for space to shoot.

He gets in front of goal and unleashes a striker only for Thiago Silva to leap in front of the ball and make a great block before the Blues clear their lines.
