Liverpool managed to keep their faint hopes of clinching the title alive, even though Spurs missed an opportunity to capitalize on Aston Villa’s recent loss in the race for the top four spots.
The Reds triumphed over Tottenham with a 4-2 victory in the Premier League, thanks to standout performances by Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott. Despite a late surge by Spurs, Liverpool secured a crucial win.
Andrew Robertson and Cody Gakpo also joined the scoring spree, helping Liverpool build a commanding 4-0 lead. However, Richarlison and Son Heung-min reduced the deficit, resulting in the highest-scoring game in Premier League history.
Spurs now sit in fifth place, trailing Aston Villa by seven points in fourth, while Liverpool is in third, five points behind leaders Arsenal. Closing the gap will require a monumental effort from Liverpool, with a significant stumble from the top two teams.

The second half saw Gakpo and Elliott increase Liverpool’s lead, though Richarlison’s introduction sparked a late Spurs revival. Salah, after having a goal disallowed for offside, had a chance to seal the game but was denied by Alisson.
