Henderson hails Reds claiming win over Spurs was "one of our best performances of the season"
Liverpool overcame Spurs in the top-of-the-table clash at Anfield last night with a well-deserved late winner from Roberto Firmino.
Mohamed Salah's deflected effort had given The Reds a first-half lead only for Heung-Min Son to equalise with a fine finish on the counter-attack just seven minutes later. However, Brazil international Firmino rose highest to power home a brilliant headed goal from Andy Robertson's 90th-minute corner for Jürgen Klopp's side.

Jürgen Klopp’s team is currently in the midst of a season in which their pre-season was disrupted, their transfer plans unexpectedly affected and in which games are being played at a faster rate than I can write them up. The nature of this campaign has resulted in a number of decisions being …

Why Liverpool Must Keep Georginio Wijnaldum
When asked about his future in a post-match press conference after Liverpool's recent 4-0 win over Wolves at Anfield, Georginio Wijnaldum was coy.
The Dutch international, who is a few weeks from entering the final six months of his Reds contract and will then -- by law -- be able to talk to continental clubs about a move, said that the ball was in the club's court with regards to a new deal at Anfield.

Fulham 1-1 Liverpool: Player ratings as Reds stutter on the road again
Tottenham Hotspur's stumble at Crystal Palace means Liverpool stay joint-top ahead of Wednesday's Anfield clash, but they can't expect to stay at the summit for long unless they rediscover their consistency.
They have won only one game away from home this season and have developed a remarkable habit of following-up world-class performances with unrecognisable displays.
After Arsenal there was Aston Villa, after Leicester... Brighton, and after Wolves... Fulham.
It somehow took 40 minutes for the Reds to pose any sort …
Harvey Elliott Future Proofing Liverpool's Midfield
Liverpool's young players have won much acclaim this season.
Curtis Jones, Caoimhin Kelleher, Neco Williams, and Rhys Williams have all played a big part in the Reds' campaign -- probably owing to the injury crisis that has engulfed the first team and the opportunities it has given them to play -- so far and have done themselves proud with some strong performances.
Another Liverpool youngster -- albeit one who is out on loan -- is excelling this season is Blackburn …
