If only the Spurs could have all the energy their gaffer Antonio Conte is wholeheartedly spreading by the sidelines during the match. Alas, his squad definitely lacks what it needs to be a title contender. And they proved it once again on Sunday night at home against Liverpool, who return to Merseyside with all three points in their pockets after the 2-1 win.Mohamed Salah bagged a brace in the first half to wrap up the match, with Harry Kane’s second-half response providing the hosts with nothing more than a tolerable defeat.

However, not even the Frenchman could save the hosts from Liverpool’s masterpiece 11 minutes into the game. Salah kickstarted a remarkable build-up, a five-piece action, which saw the man himself – Salah – putting the cherry on top of it in the end for 1-0.Instead of the quick riposte, the Spurs struggled to transpose the action to the opposite box. When they finally reached Alisson’s backyard, Sessegnon was the one who did it, Alexander-Arnold thumped him a tad bit recklessly, but the referee thought it was not worth a penalty.And then – when they imposed some balance – Eric Dier made an amateurish mistake following Alisson’s long-distant ball. Instead of clearing it, he literally put the ball on the silver plate for none other than Salah, who graciously accepted the gift and doubled the lead easily.There was no dilemma will see at least some kind of reaction from the whites in the second period, and – quite understandably – it came through their main man, Kane. Firstly, his header narrowly missed the target, but not even Alisson could prevent the Three Lions’ captain from scoring in the 70th minute.The heat was suddenly on, and Conte lifted it some more with аn amusing skirmish with Klopp’s assistant near the bench. Still, it didn’t push his team to a much-needed equaliser, as Lenglet missed a header from six yards out. If that was close, then Betancur was not more than inches short on the verge of stoppage time, after Kanne impeccably reacted to Perisic’s cross from the left. It remained 2-1 for the Reds as they seized the gap between the two teams to seven points.PREMIER LEAGUESaturdayLeeds – Bournemouth 4-3 (1-2)/Rodrigo 3 pen, Greenwood 60, Cooper 68, Summerville 84 – Tavernier 7, Billing 19, Solanke 48/Man City – Fulham 2-1 (1-1)/Alvarez 16, Haaland 90+4 pen – Pereira 28 pen/Nott.
