Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League table for the first time since Christmas with an emphatic 4-0 win at home to Tottenham Hotspur.
With title rivals Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal all dropping points on Saturday, Liverpool took full advantage to enhance their prospects of a first championship win since 1990.
No team in the top flight has bettered Tottenham’s nine away wins this season, But while Spurs are beginning to look a spent force, Liverpool close in on matching a run of nine successive wins from the 2005-06 campaign, when they finished third.
