The first half was dominated by Liverpool, as goals from Diaz (23), Alexis Mac Allister (36), and Dominik Szoboszlai (45+1) put them in a commanding position. Although Tottenham managed to pull one back through James Maddison (41), Liverpool’s attacking power proved too much for the hosts to handle.
Salah took center stage after the break, scoring two close-range finishes in the 54th and 61st minutes, with both assists coming from Szoboszlai. With a three-goal cushion and half an hour still to play, the game seemed all but decided in Liverpool’s favor.
However, Tottenham mounted a brief response as Dejan Kulusevski (72) and Dominic Solanke (83) pulled the scoreline back to 5-3, briefly igniting hopes of a dramatic comeback. But Diaz sealed the victory in the 85th minute, racing onto Salah’s perfectly timed pass and finishing confidently to cap off an unforgettable afternoon for Liverpool.
The 6-3 victory, resembling a tennis score, marks a dominant statement in the title race as Liverpool heads into the festive period with a four-point lead at the top. With their attacking firepower on full display, Jurgen Klopp’s side looks well-positioned for a serious push for the Premier League crown.
