Liverpool maintained their six point advantage at the top the Premier League in week 10 after coming from a goal behind to beat Spurs 2-1. Jordan Henderson equalised for the Reds after Harry Kane’s early goal before a late Mo Salah penalty gave Jurgen Klopp’s men a ninth win of the season.

Record win for Foxes

Managers under pressure
