With home advantage, Liverpool played enthusiastically and led 4-0. But Tottenham then rose strongly to score 2 goals thanks to Richarlison and Son Heung-min. With this result, Tottenham still has only 60 points, 7 points behind 4th-placed Aston Villa and has played 1 match less.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou said: This was clearly an extremely disappointing result for us, but at least today we played more like ourselves.
In the two previous away matches against Chelsea and Tottenham, apart from the poor results, we did not try to play our football.
In the first half, Liverpool scored 2 goals thanks to Salah and Robertson. But according to Postecoglou, Tottenham played with great effort. However, when entering the final third, Son Heung-min and his teammates could not create any breakthroughs. It helped Liverpool play comfortably and easily penetrate our penalty area and score a few special goals, Postecoglou added.
In the remaining 3 matches of the season, Tottenham will meet Burnley, Man City and Sheffield United. According to coach Postecoglou, he hopes the players will improve their ability to put pressure on the attack line, playing more confidently and effectively.
Meanwhile, Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp shared: Today Anfield is a special place. We took a 4-0 lead, I made changes and we lost organization. Tottenham showed how well they can play. I am satisfied with the players' performance.
Salah scored 1 goal and had 1 assist for Liverpool in this match. The Egyptian striker has already attacked Klopp off the touchline as Liverpool drew away with West Ham in the previous round.
Mohamed Salah was excellent, he had a very good match and showed his ability. In addition, Harvey Elliott also played impressively. I am satisfied with him. No one among the Liverpool players wants to play as badly, the German added.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has become the first player in Premier League history to score 10 or more goals and have 10 or more assists in 3 consecutive seasons.
Salah has scored 12 goals against Tottenham in his career. Only Man United (14) have scored more goals.
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 30 Premier League games against Spurs at Anfield (W20 D9). They have also scored 4 goals against Tottenham in 2 consecutive matches at Anfield. Last year, Liverpool beat their opponents 4-3 and this year 4-2.
Tottenham are on a 4-match losing streak in the Premier League. This is their longest losing streak since November 2004 (6 matches).
