The best photos from north London as impressive Liverpool edge past Spurs

The best photos from Saturday afternoon as Liverpool beat Tottenham 1-0 thanks to a first-half goal from Roberto Firmino.

The Reds dominated Jose Mourinho's side from the off and looked much the better side, with Jose Mourinho setting his side up to keep the visitors at bay.

Liverpool got their reward in the 37th minute as Roberto Firmino created space for himself in the box and fired home past Paulo Gazzaniga with an excellent left-footed finish.

Jurgen Klopp's side could have doubled their advantage on several occasions as they dictated the rhythm of the game and continuously threatened the Spurs defence.

A couple of shaky moments for the Reds could have given Spurs an undeserved equaliser, but as they've shown so many times this season, Liverpool kept their nerve to keep their lead and cruise to victory.

With second-placed Leicester faltering at home to Southampton, the result sees Liverpool go a remarkable 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League table before Manchester City's trip to Aston Villa on Sunday.
