Liverpool triumphed 4-2 over Tottenham at Anfield, dealing a significant blow to Spurs’ aspirations for Champions League qualification. Mohamed Salah’s return to the starting lineup proved pivotal as he netted an early goal, followed by Andrew Robertson’s strike just before halftime.
Liverpool’s dominance continued in the second half, with Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott extending their lead. Although Tottenham managed to pull back with goals from Richarlison and Heung-Min Son, it wasn’t enough to overcome Liverpool’s commanding performance.
