On December 22, Liverpool delivered a stunning performance in North London, thrashing Tottenham 6-3 in a Premier League showdown. Mohamed Salah stole the spotlight with two goals and two assists, cementing Liverpool’s dominance at the top of the table. The Reds took full advantage of Chelsea’s earlier 0-0 draw with Everton, moving four points clear in the standings.
Tottenham struggled to cope with Liverpool’s relentless pressing and precise play. Salah, who now boasts 15 goals and 11 assists this season, proved why he remains one of the league’s most influential players. His two goals elevated him to fourth place in Liverpool’s all-time top scorer list with 229 goals, surpassing Billy Liddell. However, with Salah’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, speculation about his future continues to grow.
Liverpool’s firepower was on full display as Luis Díaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Salah all contributed to the scoreline. Díaz added his second late in the match to cap off a dominant performance.
Ange Postecoglou’s high defensive line left Tottenham exposed, resulting in their heaviest home defeat in a decade. This eighth league defeat of the season leaves Tottenham in 11th place, with mounting pressure on Postecoglou to turn things around.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, under the guidance of Arne Slot, look unstoppable, securing their position as title favorites heading into the Christmas period.
