After halftime, Mohamed Salah took center stage, scoring twice in quick succession (54’, 61’) to push the scoreline to an imposing 5-1. Tottenham, refusing to back down, fought back with goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke in the 72nd and 83rd minutes, respectively, creating a glimmer of hope for the home crowd.
Luis Díaz extinguished any thoughts of a comeback with a clinical finish in the 85th minute, sealing Liverpool’s victory. The result strengthens Liverpool’s hold on the Premier League’s top spot with 39 points, ensuring a jubilant Christmas for the Reds.
