Liverpool ratings: Elliott earns 9/10 in win over Tottenham - ESPN

Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday as they secured a 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.

The hosts made a bright start to the match and got in front early through Mohamed Salah, who finished after a well-placed clipped pass from Cody Gakpo to the back post. Liverpool continued to look comfortable throughout the first half with Spurs rarely offering much threat, and they doubled their lead when Andy Robertson reacted first to finish off Salah's effort that was parried by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

Liverpool maintained momentum after halftime, and soon registered a three-goal lead when Harvey Elliott's cross was turned in by Gakpo's precise header. Elliott was involved again for the fourth goal, which was the moment of the match as the England U-21 player produced an exquisite finish into the top corner from outside of the box.

Tottenham did threaten to get back into it after scoring two within the space of five minutes, but Liverpool's defence were much better from that point to lock up a well-deserved three points.

This was a much more familiar Liverpool performance than their draw and loss in their past two games. It might mean little for the Reds with the title out of their hands, but a strong end to the season will bode well for confidence as the transition into the post-Klopp era nears.

Liverpool got complacent towards the end of the match as Spurs scored two within five minutes, which saw the wait for a clean sheet go on. The Reds' last Premier League clean sheet was against Nottingham Forest in March.
