Mohamed Salah‘s all-round show, including two goals and as many assists, led Liverpool’s 6-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur in a Sunday goal-fest that saw Liverpool surge ahead in the Premier League standings, establishing a four-point lead.
Tottenham struggled to counter Liverpool’s strategic pressing and precise ball movement, whilst Salah, the Egyptian forward, proved instrumental in their attacking prowess.
In the Premier League this season, Salah stands alone in achieving double figures for both goals (15) and assists (11). Salah’s agreement with Liverpool will be up for renewal at the end of this season.
Following Chelsea’s goalless draw at Everton earlier on the same day, Liverpool strengthened their position as the leading contenders for the title as the Christmas fixtures approach.
Liverpool have demonstrated remarkable form since manager Arne Slot’s appointment from Feyenoord as Jurgen Klopp’s successor in the off-season, with Salah contributing 18 goals across all competitions.
Under Slot’s leadership, the Reds have secured victories in 21 out of 25 matches across all competitions, and with a match in hand over Chelsea, they are well-positioned to extend their advantage in the title chase.
Liverpool demonstrated their attacking prowess with impressive goals from Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister, establishing a strong position in the match.
The team’s dominance continued as Dominik Szoboszlai added a third goal before half-time, followed by Salah’s contribution in the second half and another strike from Diaz.
The defeat, their eighth in the league this season, has left Tottenham in 11th position, intensifying the scrutiny on Postecoglou’s management.
