Liverpool star Mohamed Salah breaks another Premier League record in Tottenham win
Mohamed Salah has once again etched his name into the Premier League record books as Liverpool secured a vital 4-2 victory over Tottenham. The 31 year old winger kick-started the scoring just 15 minutes into the game, and his saved shot was later converted by Andy Robertson just before half-time.
Cody Gakpo added a third, with Salah setting up Harvey Elliott for a stunning late goal. Tottenham managed to claw back two goals in the final moments of the match and were close to being awarded a penalty when Joe Gomez's high foot caught Brennan Johnson.
However, Jurgen Klopp's side weathered the storm to ensure their title hopes remain alive. The win also allowed Salah to bask in his latest historic achievement.

According to Opta statistics, Salah is the first player in Premier League history to score at least 10 goals and provide at least 10 assists in three consecutive seasons. He also joins Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney as only the second player to achieve this double feat in five separate seasons.
Despite recent tensions with Klopp following his substitution in last Saturday's disappointing 2-2 draw with West Ham, Salah's performance against Tottenham proves he remains a crucial asset for Liverpool, reports the Mirror.
"Mo was absolutely outstanding," the Reds manager told Sky Sports post-match.
"He played a really good game. His side with Harvey was good. I was pleased for him. None of the boys want to play not great, why would they? Mo showed what he is capable of.
