The festive period is off to an ideal start for Liverpool. While they could lose the lead in the standings this Sunday, the Reds had a dream Sunday, winning largely at Tottenham (3-6), a few hours after Chelsea’s draw at Everton (0-0) , to reinforce their leadership position.
Arne Slot’s men put on a real festival at the Tottenham Stadium. Luis Diaz opened the scoring with a magnificent cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold (23rd), then Alexis Mac Allister doubled the lead straight away (36th). There was a semblance of suspense when James Maddison reduced the gap (41st), but Liverpool took off again with a fantastic counter-attack, concluded by Dominik Szoboszlai (45th+1).
Liverpool lead at Christmas
It was only half-time, and the red tide continued with two goals from the inevitable Mohamed Salah (54th, 61st). With such a lead in the score, Liverpool relaxed a little, which allowed Spurs to score twice through Dejan Kulusevski (72nd) and Dominic Solanke (83rd). But Luis Diaz, also author of a double, quickly gave his team some margin (85th).
After two small hiccups in Newcastle (3-3) and against Fulham (2-2), Liverpool resumed their march forward with a 12th success in 16 days. However, note the eight goals conceded in three matches, while Ibrahima Konaté is still absent.
In the standings, Liverpool are 4 and 6 points ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal, with still at least one match on the clock. Enough to regain a little margin before the holidays, even if everything can change at this time in the Premier League.
