Liverpool maintained their perfect start with a 2-1 win over Tottenham at Wembley - with a victory that was far more emphatic than the scoreline suggests.
Level on points at the top of the Premier League table with Chelsea, Jurgen Klopp's side earned a fifth successive league victory that was sealed by a tap in from Roberto Firmino, whose strike added to Georginio Wijnaldum’s first-half opener.
Eric Lamela grabbed a consolation goal back in stoppage-time, but it proved too little, too late for Mauricio Pochettino's men as Spurs slipped to a second successive defeat.
After the encounter, Jurgen Klopp said, “We were the deserved winner of that game today. They could have scored a second goal at the end but for 85 minutes, we were dominant”.
