Mohamed Salah quickly put last week’s dispute with Jurgen Klopp by scoring the first in the victory of the Liverpool 4-2 over him Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.
The sight of Salah arguing with his outgoing manager at the end of Liverpool’s 2-2 draw at West Ham last week dominated debate in the days that followed.
But the Egyptian returned to the starting line-up and on the scoresheet to lead his team to victory against Spurs at Anfield.
Salah had already come close to scoring when he rose at the far post in the 16th minute to head in Cody Gakpo’s cross from the left.
Tottenham had been given hope in their quest for Champions League qualification after fourth-placed Aston Villa suffered a shock 1-0 defeat at Brighton. But Ange Postecoglou’s team never looked able to build on that result after being overtaken by Liverpool.
The home team took a 2-0 lead in the 45th after Salah’s shot was saved by Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Andy Robertson pounced on the rebound.
It was the least Liverpool deserved after dominating the chances in the first half and forcing Vicario into a series of desperate saves.
