Liverpool vs Tottenham turned out to be a match that Liverpool and their forward from Egypt Mohamed Salah would never forget. Mainly because it was a dominating victory of 6-3 against the Hotspurs, but if they are ones to look at how they are etching their names in the history books, the statistics are one to look at..
The match that saw a total of nine goals, most goals scored in a Premier League match this season, saw Liverpool extend their lead at the top by four points. This was further aided by Chelsea’s draw against Everton that saw them lose out on valuable points. Liverpool now sit on top before Christmas for the 21st time in the club’s history, and 11 of the previous 20 times, the club has gone on to win the Premier League title.

The Egyptian forward has been the star performer for Liverpool on multiple occasions, and his performances on the field on Sunday has pushed him past multiple records with Christmas coming early for Mohamed Salah.
After his two goals and two assists against Tottenham, Salah became the first person to reach double figures of goals and assists in one season, before Christmas. Not only that, but Salah also broke his tied record for number of goals for Liverpool with Billy Liddell for fourth most in the club’s history in all competitions, after registering his 229th goal.
This was Salah’s sixth season of scoring more than ten goals and providing more than ten assists, crossing Wayne Rooney’s five seasons, who last reached the feat in his 2012/13 season scoring 12 goals and providing 10 assists in 27 appearances.
Though Liverpool seemed to get complacent out in the middle after being 5-1 up, and Tottenham seemed to pull themselves back with two more goals, the visitors came out on top at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
