Liverpool's Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah scored a first-half double at Tottenham on Sunday

The Reds won their first away game of the season with a victory at Spurs.

The win at Spurs will be good for the Reds, as they have lost their last two league games to teams that are in the bottom half of the table.

The inspiration, sweeping home a sharp left-foot finish from Darwin Nunez's pass after 11 minutes, then cashing in on Eric Dier's mistake five minutes before the break, was Salah.

Without the injured Son Heung-min, Spurs were never out of the game as Ivan Perisic and Harry Kane both hit the woodwork in the first half. One of the comebacks that have become their trademark this season was not completed.

Liverpool dig deep for victory

The need to get their show back on the road after two damaging losses made this victory more significant.

After a slow start to the campaign, he is back to his best. The first goal had one touch and an instant finish, the second had coolness and technique and made Dier pay for his mistake.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was lucky to escape with no penalty after he appeared to push Ryan Sessegnon to the ground. They are not giving up enough chances.

The return of Ibrahima Konate has added strength to a defence that has been vulnerable at times this season. The reaction at the end of the game showed how important this win might be for the team.
