Liverpool beat Tottenham on Saturday to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season and secure victory in each of their first five league fixtures for the first time in 27 years.

Georginio Wijnaldum's looping first-half header, awarded by goalline technology, set Jurgen Klopp's side on their way before Roberto Firmino hammered home from close range.

Erik Lamela scored late on to set up a tense finish, but they could not create another clear chance to equalise, reports BBC.

The result means Spurs have suffered back-to-back league defeats for the first time since the final two fixtures of the 2015-16 season.
