A goalscoring fest on Sunday afternoon ended with sadness at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Liverpool missed out on a 6-3 win in our final game before the festive period.
The visitors took an early lead in the match with goals from Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister and, we counterattacked with a good goal from James Maddison, Liverpool led 3-1 at half-time after Dominik Szoboszlai scored in added time in the first time. half. Training
Mohamed Salah scored twice in seven minutes in the second half to give Arne Slot’s side plenty and actually control, we bounced back with a delayed brace as Dejan Kulusevski scored his fifth goal in five games and Dominic Solanke scored against his former club. However, any hopes of a remarkable comeback against the league leaders were extinguished in the 85th minute when Diaz scored his moment of the game to make it 6-3.
It was a goal-filled attack that began in the 3rd minute when Fraser Forster tried to play by cutting off a ball to Salah, but was intercepted by the Liverpool striker, who was unable to pierce the ball into the side net. Salah was back for 10 minutes, discovered thanks to a glorious cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, only for Forster Sauve and Pape Matar Sarr to block Szoboszlai on the rebound.
Our first goal came here in the 16th minute, a typical reverse move that ended with a Sarr shot from 22 yards before in the other end Salah saw two successive shots blocked through Djed Spence and then hit the crossbar with a right foot . training. Liverpool were asking the most questions at this point and took the lead in the 23rd minute, Alexander-Arnold with the right functionality from the right flank Diaz met with a header that went across the goal and into the far corner of the network.
We had a era of ownership as we were hunting out for a fast response, yet we could not shape a forged possibility and instead it was the visitors with the next purpose from 36 mins. Andy Robertson’s cross bounced back after Szoboszlai challenged Spence in the air and Mac Allister was fastest to react to pass Forster from 8 yards out. The stadium felt deflated at that point, yet the temper was drastically lifted 4 mins before the era when Kulusvski won Mac Allister’s ownership 30 yards from purpose, Maddison picked up the ball and drilled a intelligent end beyond Alisson for 2-1. Unfortunately, the Reds regained their two-purpose merit a few mins later as Szoboszlai lit up Alexander-Arnold’s big clearance to Salah and collapsed to obtain the Egypt foreign pass before sliding Forster from 10 yards out.
Things worsened for us at nine minutes from the beginning of the first half, when Cody Gakpo slid a ball in the six -yard area with brilliant Shots of Archie Gray on the line only for the ball to fall on the feet of Salah, who Alisson’s long ball was at home at home a few minutes later left Szoboszlai blank, but it is possible that he does not locate the side network until after surrounding Forster, but in the 61st minute Szoboszlai returned and this time in the center for Salah for 5-1. The just support of Forster’s dive maintained the Alexander-Arnold soaking.
We got a goal with 18 minutes to go after a series of misses that almost failed, Kuluski with a good volley after a good shot from Solanke over the Liverpool defence. And, when Lucas Bergvall delivered a deep cross for Brennan Johnson to enter the danger zone, Solanke was there to sweep the ball and make it 5-3.
However, the goals continued to arrive for visitors when five minutes were missing when Salah put Díaz and his angle shot beat Forster and got into the corner of the network. Then, Alisson made a very good stop to avoid an effort from Johnson and with that we had our last possibility of saving something of a complicated game.
