Mohamed Salah scored twice in eight minutes and set up two more as Liverpool crushed Tottenham and moved four points clear at the top of the Premier League, leaving Tottenham in the bottom half.

Luis Diaz and Alexis McAllister scored first-half goals before Dominik Szoboszlai fired home a shot from Salah’s pass at the end of the first half, restoring the gap between the two teams after James Maddison responded from outside the penalty area.

Salah, who hit the crossbar and the score was goalless, scored twice from close range before Dejan Kulusevski scored for a Spurs side who have taken one point from their last four home league matches.

Dominic Solanke’s strike gave the home side a third goal in three matches, but Diaz took advantage of Salah’s ball to conclude a very entertaining match.

Liverpool will be top of the table at Christmas for the first time since 2020/21, although the 2019/20 season is the only occasion in the last seven games when they have been in that position and proceeded to win the title.

Tottenham vs Liverpool

One of Liverpool’s 24 attempts on target would have set off alarm bells for Tottenham fans after 18 minutes, when Salah hit the woodwork as part of a dominant start for Arne Slot’s players.

Diaz then scored his sixth goal of the season from a brilliant pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold, starting another dangerous display that plunged Spurs into the kind of embarrassment they had suffered only once before.

The last time Tottenham conceded six goals at home in the Premier League was when they lost 6-1 to Chelsea in December 1997, but poor performances have become familiar to them under Postecoglou.

Tottenham concede more goals

Manchester United scored three goals as they threatened a comeback in their Carabao Cup defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, 11 days after Chelsea’s 4-3 win there in the league.

Tottenham’s defensive weaknesses look unsustainable, and having two goals more than Liverpool and second-placed Chelsea is not much consolation after results like these.

The team is eight points behind fourth-placed Nottingham Forest and nine points above the relegation zone ahead of its trip to the City Ground on Thursday (3pm GMT).

Liverpool play at 8pm the same day, hosting fourth-placed Leicester City, who lost 3-0 at home to third-placed Wolves on Sunday.
