Liverpool Defeat Tottenham in UEFA Champions League Final (2-0)

An early Mohamed Salah penalty and then a late strike by tournament wonderkid Divock Origi gave Liverpool a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday’s all-English Champions League final. Liverpool now earn themselves their first final in over a decade.

Egypt striker Salah, who had painful memories of last year’s final defeat by Real Madrid after suffering a shoulder injury at the hands of Sergio Ramos, was quick to rebound in today's final.

Liverpool did not produce much of their usual iconic attacking football but they were more intelligent and powerful than Spurs and sealed a sixth European Cup and their first major tournament this year.

The win was sweet redemption for Salah and especially German Klopp, who had suffered defeat on his last six appearances in major finals, including Champions League showpieces with Borussia Dortmund in 2013 and Liverpool last year.
