Liverpool beat Tottenham to maintain perfect start

Georginio Wijnaldum scored his first away goal in the Premier League to help Liverpool stay top with a 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool began strongly and thought they had taken the lead in the opening minute but Roberto Firmino’s effort was ruled out for offside.

The visitors finally made the breakthrough six minutes before the break when Wijnaldum’s header just crossed the line.

Lucas Moura struck the post for Spurs before Liverpool added a second on 54 minutes when Firmino tapped in from close range.

Erik Lamela scored a stoppage time consolation but Liverpool move to 15 points, three ahead of Chelsea and Watford, who play later on Saturday, while Spurs are fifth with nine points.
