Liverpool rediscovered their rhythm with a commanding 4-2 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League clash on Sunday, marking a poignant moment as beloved manager Jürgen Klopp nears his final game at Anfield. Goals from Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo, and Harvey Elliott propelled Klopp’s side closer to the league leaders, Arsenal, narrowing the gap to five points with only two matches left. Furthermore, they are now trailing reigning champions Manchester City by just four points, albeit with City having a game in hand over both teams.
Liverpool’s star player, Salah, netted his 18th league goal of the season with a header in the 16th minute, followed by Robertson extending their lead just before halftime with a simple tap-in. Gakpo then nodded in Elliott’s cross in the 50th minute, before the midfielder himself struck with a stunning long-range effort that curled into the top corner.
Despite Richarlison and Son Heung-min pulling two goals back, Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs, who currently sit fifth in the table, failed to mount a comeback. This defeat marked their fourth consecutive loss in the Premier League.
