Mario Balotelli lasted 60 minutes on his Liverpool debut as the Reds bounced back from their defeat at Manchester City last week to punish Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham 3-0 at White Hart Lane.
Raheem Sterling, Steven Gerrard and Alberto Moreno scored for the away side in a dominant performance.
Moreno scored his first goal for the club with a stunning run and finish.
While a debut goal eluded him on his debut, Balotelli, who started, instantly gelled with his new team-mates and generally impressed against Tottenham.

Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Dejan Lovren Already looking like a superb signing for Liverpool. Easily their best defender. 8
Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Mamado Sakho Had to rely on Lovren to cover for his occasional lapses in concentration. 6
Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Joe Allen Booked for a cynical tackle in the first half before winning the penalty by making the most of soft challenge from Dier. 6
Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Steven Gerrard A typical Gerrard performance. Tackled well, overhit passes and scored a penalty. 7
Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Jordan Henderson Another assured display from the England man. Tackled well, passed well and provided the assist for Sterling's goal. 8
Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Raheem Sterling Another outstanding display from the teenager. Caused havoc all afternoon as well as scoring the opening goal. 9
Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Daniel Sturridge Dangerous throughout and his excellent run and pass led to the first goal. 7
Tottenham 0 Liverpool 3 player ratings Mario Balotelli Missed a host of chances but his hold up and link play was impressive. 6
Balotelli had three great chances, but just could not score that debut goal before being substituted on the hour mark.
