• Eintracht Frankfurt 1-5 Bayer Leverkusen: Alonso's champions roll on

  Bayer Leverkusen extended their unbeaten streak as they secured a 5-1 away victory at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

  The result leaves champions Leverkusen at the summit with 84 points, while Frankfurt sit sixth with 45.

  Leverkusen's record unbeaten run, meanwhile, has now extended to 48 matches across all competitions.

  Xabi Alonso's team opened the scoring through Granit Xhaka's bending strike from outside the box after 12 minutes.

  Hugo Ekitike's perfectly timed header restored parity just after the half-hour mark, however.

  Leverkusen retook the lead just before half-time through Patrik Schick's towering header.

  It was 3-1 in the 58th minute, Exequiel Palacios converting a penalty after Niels Nkounkou pulled Nathan Tella by the shirt.

  Jeremie Frimpong added a fourth for the visitors with 13 minutes remaining, tapping in from short distance, before the wing-back played a key role in Leverkusen's fifth, winning a penalty which was put away by Victor Boniface.

  Data Debrief: Club history for free-scoring Leverkusen

  Leverkusen have now scored 82 goals in this Bundesliga season, a new season record for the Werkself in the top flight.

  They also lead the Bundesliga for the most goals from long-distance (11), most goals from set-pieces (23) and most goals in the final 15 minutes of matches (19).

• Salah makes Premier League history in Anfield thriller

  Mohamed Salah made more Premier League history as he scored and provided an assist in Liverpool's 4-2 win over Tottenham.

  Salah, who had a public disagreement with outgoing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp during last week's 2-2 draw with West Ham, was back at his best as the Reds returned to winning ways on Sunday.

  He opened the scoring in the 16th minute at Anfield, where Liverpool cruised into a 4-0 lead before Spurs fought back to make matters interesting late on.

  Harvey Elliott curled in Liverpool's fourth goal, having received a pass from Salah, who in the process went into the Premier League's record books.

  Salah is the first player in Premier League history to score 10+ goals and provide 10+ assists in three consecutive seasons.

  Meanwhile, he is also only the second player to tally 10+ in both in five separate seasons in the competition overall, after Wayne Rooney.

  "Mo was absolutely outstanding," Klopp told Sky Sports.

  Salah's earlier goal had also seen him draw level with Harry Kane as the highest goalscorer in Premier League matches between Liverpool and Spurs, with nine. He is also squandered a great chance to make it 5-2, before seeing a goal disallowed for offside in stoppage time.

  Indeed, the fixture itself is now the highest-scoring one in Premier League history, having overtaken Arsenal v Liverpool.
