‘Maybe it was our best performance away’: Slot lauds Liverpool after thrashing Tottenham | OneFootball

Liverpool manager Arne Slot believes Liverpool’s 6-3 win over Tottenham was one of their best away performances of the season.

Goals from Luis Diaz, Mohamed Salah, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai sealed an impressive win for Slot’s side, who extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to four points with a game in hand on their rivals.

Against a Tottenham side who still managed to score three in the match, Liverpool controlled proceedings and were the deserved victors.

Slot admits that although the home side were able to get through his side, this performance was arguably their best away from home all season.

“It was very good,” Slot said. “Maybe it was our best performance away from home although I loved what I saw at Man Utd. Total dominance. That was a very good away game as well.

“I think we could have scored more goals today. You can’t score every chance, although I think Tottenham did! Mo [Salah] and Lucho [Luis Diaz] both had two goals, so stood out, but we wouldn’t do justice to Dom’s [Szoboszlai] performance without mentioning him.

“He was an important part of our game plan and executed really well.

“I haven’t seen all of his performances, as it is my first year and his second. I would point to the game against Man Utd as well. But it was one of his best performances.”

Victory against Spurs and Chelsea drawing at Everton means the Reds will remain top over Christmas for the first time since the 2021/22 season, something that Slot appreciates a lot:

“It means something to me. But it is not easy to show up every three or four days. I didn’t expect Chelsea to drop points today. It can happen in any game. That’s what makes this league so special.”
