Liverpool Thrash Spurs in Dominant Display
Liverpool are back on top of the Premier League in style, going four points clear with a commanding win over Tottenham. This wasn’t just a victory—it was a statement. Spurs, riddled with injuries and fatigue, were no match for the relentless Reds.
Dominance from the First Whistle
Liverpool wasted no time. Luis Díaz nodded home Trent Alexander-Arnold’s pin-perfect cross 23 minutes in. By the 36th minute, Alexis Mac Allister doubled the lead with another well-placed header.
Spurs briefly sparked hope when James Maddison curled in a stunner—his eighth goal this season—just before halftime. But that flicker of optimism fizzled when Mohamed Salah set up Dominik Szoboszlai to slot in Liverpool’s third during stoppage time.
Salah’s Record-Breaking Night
The second half was all about Salah. The Egyptian King bagged two goals, breaking Billy Liddell’s long-standing Liverpool scoring record. Salah now sits at 229 goals in 373 games—an awe-inspiring feat, considering Liddell needed 534 matches for his 228 goals.
Szoboszlai, not content with just one goal, returned the favor to assist Salah for his second. This Liverpool squad is brimming with players who rise to the occasion.
Spurs Left in Shambles
Tottenham showed signs of life late on. Dejan Kulusevski netted for the fifth straight game, and Dominic Solanke added another. But Díaz swooped in with Liverpool’s sixth, putting the scoreline firmly out of reach.
It wasn’t just about the goals; it was the ease with which Liverpool exploited Spurs’ gaps. Ange Postecoglou’s men looked leg-weary after their midweek Carabao Cup clash with Manchester United. A protest against chairman Daniel Levy before the game seemed to echo the discontent on the pitch.
The Bigger Picture
Liverpool’s fans roared their approval at the final whistle, convinced their team has what it takes to reclaim the Premier League title. Meanwhile, Spurs will need more than a miracle to turn the tables in their upcoming EFL Cup semi-final against the Reds.
