What happens when an unbalanced side meets a squad packed with high-profile players in every single line of the team? Well, in that case, Tottenham Hotspur lost at home to Liverpool 6-3.Despite the undisputed charms of Ange Postecoglou’s side, Spurs are just nowhere near the Premier League leaders, and Sunday night was brutal proof of the difference and the gap between those two teams.You can’t say James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke and Heung-min Son are mediocre players – on contrary. However, their back line with laughable keeper Forster, centre-backs Dragusin and Grey, and full-backs Porro and Spence, is just not capable of competing with the mean machine of Arne Slot.Best player in the world. pic.twitter.com/1U64YadY8h— Anything Liverpool (@AnythingLFC_) December 22, 2024 Straight from the kick-off it was disturbing to watch Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah making fool of Spurs’ defenders, with Szoboszlai and Mac Allister constantly driving inside the penalty area to put some more pressure.When Alexander-Arnold accompanied them with his clinical crosses, the doors opened for a massacre. Diaz headed home TAA’s cross to open the scoring, and soon it was pouring. Mac Allister was superb on a rebound following Szoboszlai’s header to double the lead, while Liverpool missed a couple more chances to kill the game even before the break.Love it, Szobo 😍 pic.twitter.com/4llsY1Idsf— Liverpool FC (@LFC) December 22, 2024 On the other hand, Spurs finally showed their presence in front of Alisson and did it spectacularly as Kulusevski stole the ball from Mac Allister, and Maddison struck it low to make it 1-2.Unfortunately for the hosts, there was some time left before half-time, and the lethal duo Salah-Szoboszlai teamed up again to wrap up the tie with their side’s third goal.Mohamed Salah has become the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas in a single season 🎄🤩#LFC pic.twitter.com/yo6V5PHff5— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) December 22, 2024 The Reds were not in the mood to stop there. The opening 15 minutes of the second half saw them scoring two more for a humiliating four-goal cushion.Postecoglou’s lot is not the one to give up that easily, though, pegging back two through Kulusevski and Solanke before Luis Diaz made the last punch for staggering 6-3 win.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 17SaturdayAston Villa – Man.City 2-1 (1-0)/Duran 16, Rogers 68 – Foden 90+3/Brentford – Nott.Forest 0-2 (0-1)/Aina 38, Elanga 51/Ipswich – Newcastle 0-4 (0-3)/Isak 1, 45+2, 54, Murphy 32/West Ham – Brighton 1-1 (0-0)/Kudus 57 – Wieffer 51/Crystal Palace – Arsenal 1-5 (1-3)/Sarr 11 – Jesus 6, 15, Havertz 38, Martinelli 60, Rice 84/SundayEverton – Chelsea 0-0Fulham – Southampton 0-0Leicester – Wolverhampton 0-3 (0-3)/Guedes 20, Gomes R. 36, Cunha 44/Man.Utd. – Bournemouth 0-3 (0-1)/Huijsen 29, Kluivert 61 pen, Semenyo 63/Tottenham – Liverpool (0-1)/Diaz 23, 85, Mac Allister 36, Szoboszlai 45+1, Salah 54,61 – Maddison 41, Kulusevski 72, Solanke 83/
