Jurgen Klopp has words with Liverpool star at full-time as Richarlison fools Anfield
Liverpool cemented their place in the Premier League's top three with an enjoyable romp over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott all found the target as the Reds earned a comfortable 4-2 triumph. The result means Jurgen Klopp’s side mathematically are still in the title race but are likely to be playing for pride when they next take to the field.
But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at Anfield.

Klopp delight
Liverpool's first-half performance was a timely reminder of why they have been such an important part of the championship battle this season.
And the manner in which the Reds swarmed all over Tottenham certainly earned the approval of Klopp, who was regularly raising his hands to applaud the efforts of his players.
A bit later on, Elliott almost took his manager as he attempted to stop a ball drifting out of play. Instead, the 21-year-old was given an impromptu hug from his manager before being helped back on to the pitch.
Bajcetic critiqued
Klopp might be winding down his time in charge at Liverpool but that doesn't mean he hasn't still got one eye on the future of the players.
And having seen Stefan Bajcetic understandably struggle during his first Premier League outing in more than a year, the Reds boss made a beeline for the teenager after the final whistle.
Bajectic was then given some forceful advice over his performance and where it could be improved by an animated Klopp. Once a coach, always a coach.
