Liverpool triumphed 6-3 at Tottenham Hotspur yesterday to strengthen their grip on top spot in the Premier League.
The Reds were in control of the game after first-half goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. James Maddison reduced the arrears for Tottenham.
Mohamed Salah then put the game beyond doubt by scoring twice in seven minutes.
Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke threatened to give the scoreline an unrealistic appearance until Diaz wrapped up a memorable win with a late sixth.
The result means Liverpool have extended their lead to four points at the top of the table.
The Merseyside giants have been unstoppable this season under manager Arne Slot, losing just one of their 16 top-flight matches.
They are cruising toward their 19th league title unless the two London clubs produce miracles during the second half of the season.
Chelsea were on an eight-game winning run ahead of Sunday’s clash at Everton. However, their impressive streak ended after the Toffees held them to a goalless draw.
Arsenal haven’t been entirely convincing in recent games, although they thumped Crystal Palace 5-1 at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Liverpool have been relentless, grinding out results even when they weren’t at their best.
Chelsea and Arsenal boast world-class players in their ranks, but they need to put together a consistent run to have a chance of overhauling the Reds.
