Liverpool delivered a thrilling performance to crush Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 in a pulsating Premier League encounter on Sunday, solidifying their position at the top of the table, four points clear of second-placed Chelsea.

Mohamed Salah was the standout performer, contributing two goals and two assists, reaffirming his dominance this season as the league’s top scorer and assist provider (15 goals, 11 assists). The Egyptian forward’s brace propelled him to fourth on Liverpool’s all-time scoring chart with 229 goals, surpassing Billy Liddell. With Salah’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, his future at Anfield remains uncertain, though his performances underline his importance to the team.

Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, has transformed the Reds into title favorites, leading them to 21 wins in 25 matches across all competitions. The attacking trio of Salah, Luis Díaz, and Alexis Mac Allister dismantled Tottenham’s high defensive line, while Dominik Szoboszlai added another layer of creativity and precision.

Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, had no answers to Liverpool’s relentless pressing and attacking prowess. Despite brief responses through James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, the Spurs suffered their eighth league defeat of the season, leaving them languishing in 11th place. This marked the first time in a decade that Tottenham conceded five or more goals at home in the Premier League.

Liverpool’s dominance, highlighted by Salah’s masterclass, strengthens their claim for a first league title since 2020. With a game in hand, they look poised to continue their reign at the summit of the Premier League.
