Liverpool moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League with a scintillating 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, inspired by a Mohamed Salah masterclass.
Salah delivered two goals and two assists in a dazzling display, as Arne Slot’s side overwhelmed Tottenham in north London.
The win capitalised on Chelsea’s earlier goalless draw at Everton, cementing Liverpool as title favourites heading into the festive period.
Goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and another from Diaz sealed the emphatic victory, leaving Tottenham languishing in 11th place and piling pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou.
Salah, now Liverpool’s fourth all-time top scorer with 229 goals, continued his remarkable form, tallying 15 league goals and 11 assists this season. The Egyptian’s future remains uncertain, with his contract expiring at the season’s end.
Liverpool’s dominance under Slot, who replaced Jurgen Klopp, has been undeniable, with 21 wins in 25 matches. The Reds look set to mount a serious title charge as they approach the halfway mark of the season.
