The highlight match of round 17 of the Premier League is the confrontation between Tottenham and Liverpool . The home team is missing many important positions and is forced to play with some reserve players. In the 18th minute, Salah hit the crossbar but the Merseyside team did not have to wait long.
In the 23rd minute, Diaz flew forward and headed the ball so powerfully that goalkeeper Forster had no chance to block it. In the 36th minute, Liverpool suddenly accelerated and scored a goal after Allister’s header. Immediately after that, James Maddison lit up the home team’s hope of a point with an accurate shot from outside the box.
However, Szoboszlai restored the two-goal lead before half-time with a close-range finish in the first minute of first-half stoppage time. In the second half, Tottenham pressed forward in search of an equaliser but they continued to concede the first goal.
In the 54th minute, Spence tried his best to save Tottenham but Salah was there at the right time to make it 4-1. The Egyptian striker completed his double in the 61st minute after a “set-up” pass from Szboszlai.
Tottenham were still determined to find a goal and were rewarded in the 72nd minute. The scorer was Kulusevski after a pass from Solanke. Hope was rekindled for the home team in the 83rd minute when Solanke finished accurately in the penalty area.
However, Tottenham’s joy was short-lived as Diaz sealed the score in the 85th minute. “Crushing” Tottenham with a score of 6-3, Liverpool firmly held the top position in the Premier League.
