Liverpool handed out a merciless thrashing to Tottenham Hotspur in front of their own fans. Arne Slot’s pacesetters were simply irresistible as every frailty in an injury-hit Spurs team was ruthlessly exposed.
Liverpool had already had several opportunities before Colombian star Luis Diaz headed in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s perfect cross. Alexis Mac Allister soon doubled the lead with another header 13 minutes later.
James Maddison gave Spurs hope as he put one back a before half-time. Szoboszlai then converted Mohamed Salah’s set up as they went 3-1 in the first half. Salah drew level with Billy Liddell’s record of 228 Liverpool goals as he netted for Liverpool.
Dejan Kulusevski scored for the fifth successive game with 18 minutes left, while another from Dominic Solanke threatened to give the scoreline. It looked like Spurs were coming back until Diaz swooped for his second and Liverpool’s sixth.
