Liverpool Thrash Tottenham 6-2 to Extend Premier League Lead by Four Points.
Liverpool produced a stunning performance to secure a 6-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to four points. Playing away at Tottenham’s home, Liverpool’s dominance was evident from the start, as they relentlessly exploited Spurs’ injury-hit squad and fatigue following their midweek Carabao Cup clash. Luis Diaz opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, heading in a flawless cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Reds doubled their lead 13 minutes later with Alexis Mac Allister converting another header. Despite James Maddison’s curling strike four minutes before halftime, which provided a glimmer of hope for Spurs, Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal during stoppage time reasserted Liverpool's control before the break.
In the second half, Liverpool showed no mercy, further punishing a leg-weary Tottenham side. Mohamed Salah tied Billy Liddell’s record of 228 Liverpool goals by slotting in from close range after 54 minutes. Minutes later, Salah broke the record outright, becoming Liverpool’s fourth all-time leading scorer when Szoboszlai returned the favor with an assist. Spurs' Dejan Kulusevski, who has been in fine form, netted for the fifth game in a row with 18 minutes left, but it was not enough to ignite a comeback. Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke also scored, momentarily reducing the deficit, before Diaz sealed the rout with his second goal of the match.
This emphatic win showcased Liverpool’s attacking brilliance and depth, with standout contributions from Salah, Diaz, and Szoboszlai. Meanwhile, Spurs’ depleted squad and packed fixture list left them exposed and unable to cope with Liverpool’s fluidity. As the Reds sit comfortably atop the table, this performance cements their title ambitions, while Tottenham will need to regroup quickly if they hope to remain competitive in the Premier League race.
