Salah, Diaz fire Liverpool past Spurs in 9-goal thriller

Mohamed Salah and Luiz Diaz each scored a brace to help Liverpool put six past Tottenham in a Premier League encounter on Sunday.

The game played in London saw the Reds secure a 6-3 victory over their hosts, to go four points clear in the league table.

Arne Slot’s pacesetters were simply irresistible as every frailty in an injury-hit Spurs team was ruthlessly exposed.

Salah drew level with Billy Liddell’s record of 228 Liverpool goals when he extended Liverpool’s advantage from close range after 54 minutes.

Then the Egyptian went into fourth place in the club’s all-time list of scorers on his own when Szoboszlai repaid the first-half compliment as Salah netted his second.

Liverpool have dropped points in each of their past two Premier League games, with draws at Newcastle United and at home to Fulham, but this was as convincing a return to winning ways.

Meanwhile, Spurs and Liverpool will meet in the EFL Cup semi-final over two legs.
