Winners of their first five league games for the first time since 1990, Liverpool returned from the worldwide break to blank a lethargic Tottenham side that have failed to capitalise on the emotion of their 3-0 win at Manchester United on August 27.
Mane nearly doubled the lead in the 49th minute before Vorm turned his attempt away, and Lucas Moura almost equalised for Tottenham after his shot hit the left side of the net, but Liverpool increased their advantage in the 54th minute on Firmino's simple strike.
Son Heung-min is back and on the bench, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Davinson Sanchez, Serge Aurier, Ben Davies, Victor Wanyama and Erik Lamela. We could have scored more, we controlled the game. The most important thing is to keep the balance.
"Winning here is so hard, unbelievably difficult, so I never expect that".
"I didn't see it back, I didn't see anything back from the game".
Lamela lashed home in the final moments, putting a flattering gloss on a scoreline that didn't reflect Liverpool's dominance. "If you analyse the first five games, the performance was similar in all the games, but the opponents were all different". It's fantastic we won all of them, it's fantastic we improved and this today was by far our best performance of the season, so I like that development. Now we have to prove that and do it again and again and again.

It remains to be seen which players make the squad for the Tottenham game but the bench we saw against Leicester last time out of Mignolet, Sturridge, Keita, Moreno, Lallana, Shaqiri and Matip is a world away.
However, the fixtures are set to come thick and fast from now on, starting with a trip to Wembley for their Premier League clash against Tottenham before they open their Champions League account against Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield next week.
Mane made a good run that caught Tottenham right-back Kieran Trippier out of position before sending over a low cross that Vertonghen diverted against his own post.
