1:12:15

As we approach the halfway point of the season things are starting to shape up in the Premier League. Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1, in a game that featured two red cards, a broken leg, a classic Richarlison moment and a quite vulgar celebration from Ekitike.

It looks like it's all over for Salah at Liverpool after an explosive 7 minute rant to anyone who would listen about how he feels he's not wanted at the club, how he's been thrown under the bus and isn't speaking to the manager.
