Premier League: Salah’s brilliance sparks Liverpool’s Historic win over Tottenham
Liverpool delivered a statement performance on Sunday, overpowering Tottenham Hotspur in a 6-3 thriller at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The spotlight belonged to Mohamed Salah, who inspired the Reds with two goals and two assists, further solidifying their lead at the Premier League summit.
From the opening whistle, Liverpool’s attacking intent was evident. Luis Díaz struck first with a clinical finish in the 23rd minute, and Alexis Mac Allister doubled the advantage soon after, capping a swift team move.
Tottenham briefly fought back through James Maddison’s effort, but Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal just before halftime—courtesy of Salah’s assist—reasserted Liverpool’s dominance.
The second half showcased Salah at his finest. The Egyptian netted twice within seven minutes, extending Liverpool’s lead to 5-1 and etching his name further into the club’s history as their fourth all-time top scorer with 229 goals.
Tottenham’s resilience saw late strikes from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke, narrowing the gap to 5-3.
However, Díaz sealed the result in injury time, once again assisted by Salah, who reached a Premier League milestone of 250 goal contributions—the most by any foreign player.
Liverpool’s emphatic win sends a clear warning to their rivals, while Salah’s masterclass strengthens his case as a Ballon d’Or contender. For Spurs, the match exposed lingering vulnerabilities despite flashes of promise.
