Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in an away game for the first time
since May 2022, with both goals coming from Mohamed Salah. In the 11th
minute, the Egyptian gave the Reds the lead after receiving a pass from
Darwin Nunez, opening his body, and volleying a thunderous effort into the
back of the net. Salah extended Liverpool’s lead with five minutes
remaining until halftime, capitalizing on a mistake by Eric Dier and
outrunning Hugo Lloris to do so. In the 70th minute, Spurs’ efforts to get
back into the game paid off when Harry Kane scored. The Englishman’s
long-range effort into the far post narrowed Liverpool’s lead to a single
goal. In the high-stakes tournament that continued, the Spurs kept pressing
forward in search of an equalizer, and while they came near multiple times,
they ultimately came up empty. After dropping two straight at home,
Tottenham is now in fourth place with 26 points after third-place Newcastle
United crushed Southampton.
