It’s perhaps not a surprise then that the errors of one key Liverpool player avoided microscopic assessment. Virgil van Dijk doesn’t commit too many mistakes, but at Spurs he was culpable for two of Tottenham’s goals. The second in particular – scored by Dejan Kulusevski – was uncharacteristically poor from the ex-Southampton man. He followed the run of Dominic Solanke towards the middle of the pitch, failed to win the ball and left a chasm in the heart of defence for the Tottenham attacker to turn and flick a pass into the path of onrushing Kulusevski. The Swedish international confidently…
A gutted Son Heung-min, the skipper of Tottenham, has confessed that the 6-3 thrashing by Liverpool was “very, very painful” following the Premier League frontrunners’ emphatic win at the Tottenham Stadium. Mohamed Salah led the charge with a brace, matched by Luis Diaz, while Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai also found the net. Despite efforts from James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke, Spurs were left to rue an ignominious defeat on their own turf. Confronting the media in a post-match Sky Sports interview, the captain didn’t mince his words, conceding that Spurs were outclassed by Arne Slot’s men.…
Amid a disquieting phase for Manchester City, with only one victory in their last 12 matches, culminating in a 2-1 setback against Aston Villa, fans and officials at the club have been told not to worry about Pep Guardiola’s commitment to the club. City now sits 12 points off league leaders Liverpool, with the Reds also holding a game in hand on their rivals. With little sign of their slump abating, Guardiola has come under more pressure than ever before during his time at the Etihad. Guardiola’s penchant for overcoming adversity, telling TNT Sports: “I don’t think Guardiola is anywhere…
Virgil van Dijk has heaped praise on in-form teammate Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian fired in another two goals for Liverpool this weekend against Tottenham. He is now up to 18 goals and 15 assists in 24 games in all competitions this season. “The numbers speak for themselves,” Van Dijk told reporters post-match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “He is very special. He has done amazingly for the club and hopefully he can play his best season ever — stay important with his goals and assists and be clinical. We need always a complete performance from him. All the defensive…
Things are going very well for Liverpool at the moment, but that doesn’t mean Michael Edwards and his recruitment team are not exploring ways to further bolster Arne Slot’s squad. Alongside the club’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, Edwards will be on a mission to bring in further reinforcements and one of the key areas where Liverpool will look to bring in more depth is probably the no.9 position. Diogo Jota has proven to be injury prone in his time at Anfield so far. Meanwhile, Darwin Nunez has struggled with inconsistency and hasn’t lived up to the hype that many hoped…
The former Premier League referee Keith Hackett believes the VAR should have recommended an on-field review for a potential penalty after Trent Alexander-Arnold appeared to push over James Maddison during Liverpool’s 6-3 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Alexander-Arnold made contact with Maddison on the edge of the penalty area after extending his right arm into the opposition player’s back while facing the byline. That caused the Spurs player to fall over before the ball rolled out of play for a Liverpool goal kick. Gary Neville, co-commentating on the match for Sky Sports, believed the Reds vice-captain “took a little bit of…
When Tottenham Hotspur overcame nine-man Liverpool at home last season, courtesy of a last-minute Joel Matip own goal, the celebrations that followed were wild. It was only September 30 but with ‘Angeball’ all the rage, Spurs were understandably excited. Admittedly, they were second in the table and still unbeaten after seven games following the win, but their reaction prompted raised eyebrows from onlookers. But they also benefited greatly from a Luis Diaz strike infamously being incorrectly chalked off for offside by VAR, with the mistake was put down to ‘significant human error’. Evidently, that took nothing away from the celebrations…
Arne Slot praised Liverpool as they ensured they would be top of the Premier League table at Christmas – but expressed his frustration that Tottenham Hotspur were allowed a chance to get back into the game. The Reds delivered a 6-3 win over Spurs in what was an enthralling encounter in North London. The visitors took a 3-1 lead into half-time through goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Then in the second period, Liverpool’s advantage was extended through Mo Salah’s double to move him fourth on the club’s all-time scoring charts. However, Tottenham were given a…
With his side having emerged victorious by a tennis score, it is very much advantage Liverpool in the Premier League title race. Winning 6-3 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and becoming the first team in 27 years to net six away at Spurs, Arne Slot had plenty to be pleased about. Luis Diaz got things underway and ended up with two goals, Mohamed Salah got a brace inside seven second half minutes, and Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai scored from midfield too. All round, it was a superb performance from an opponent Tottenham simply couldn’t deal with on home…
A crucial mistake by the linesman during yesterday’s Premier League clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool has left Spurs fans and players seething. The error, which occurred in the first half, potentially cost Tottenham a goal and could have changed the course of the match. Replays showed that a Tottenham player was clearly onside when a through-ball was played, but the linesman raised his flag, incorrectly ruling the player offside. The decision was met with widespread anger and frustration from the Tottenham bench and fans. The incident occurred when Tottenham’s Harry Kane was played through on goal, only for the…
