Georginio Wijnaldum, Roberto Firmino Fire Liverpool to Vital Win at Tottenham

Liverpool continued their flawless start to the Premier League season on Saturday at Wembley Stadium, as they coasted to a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The visitors were on top in the opening period, with Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah both squandering chances. In the end, they went ahead thanks to some horrendous goalkeeping from Michel Vorm, who flapped at a cross and allowed Georginio Wijnaldum to head home.

After the break, Liverpool doubled their advantage, as Firmino capitalised on some scintillating play from Sadio Mane and further questionable goalkeeping from Vorm. Spurs failed to threaten in response, although they did grab a late consolation through Erik Lamela in stoppage time.
