Liverpool enjoyed another productive Premier League outing at the weekend as they beat Tottenham 6-3.

Arne Slot’s high-flying side entered Round 17 on the back of two draws against Newcastle and Fulham, which reduced their lead at the top of the Premier League table to two points.

With Chelsea and Arsenal hot on their heels, there was real concern among fans that if Liverpool dropped points against Spurs, it could spell the end of their tag as Premier League title favourites.

However, they passed the Tottenham test, scoring six times against Ange Postecoglou’s side.

'Not happy': Gary Neville says he spotted one Liverpool player looking furious during their win over Spurs	'Need to improve': Mo Salah says there's one thing Liverpool have to work on after 6-3 Tottenham win	'No one expected': Dominik Szoboszlai says Arne Slot has done something at Liverpool that's surprised everyone

While Liverpool conceded three goals, there were several impressive performers on the night.

Player of the Match award winner Mohamed Salah grabbed two goals and two assists on the afternoon, while Luis Diaz also netted a brace.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was also impressive, registering an assist with a glorious cross for Liverpool’s opener, and Dominik Szoboszlai gave another good performance.

Meanwhile, Liverpool coach Slot oversaw his 25th game for the club, recording his 21st win in that period.

Below are ten stats and records from what was a record-breaking evening for Liverpool.

Arne Slot superb Liverpool start

Liverpool coach Arne Slot set a Premier League record against Spurs.

Nobody could have predicted this start for the former Feyenoord man.

Former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte is the only other manager who has achieved as many as 20 games in his first 25 games, and he didn’t have Champions League football to contend with when he moved to Stamford Bridge.

Salah Liverpool goal record

With his second goal in North London, Salah became the fourth player with the most goals in Liverpool’s history.

The Egyptian has now scored 229 goals for Liverpool in all competitions, doing so in just 373 games.

Only Gordon Hodgson, who scored 241 goals in 377 appearances, have enjoyed a higher scoring ratio than Salah among Liverpool players to have scored over 160 goals for the club.

Salah Premier League assists record

Meanwhile, Salah moved into the top ten list for Premier League assists, with his two assists at Tottenham taking his total assists to 80 in 279 appearances.

Salah is now level with David Beckham for Premier League assists, and is now 12 behind Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who had 92 assists in 504 games.

Salah six-season wonder

By scoring two goals and providing two assists, Mohamed Salah became the first and only player in Premier League history to have 10+ goals and assists in six different seasons.

Salah reaching double figures for both goals and assists in a season is nothing new, also doing so in 2017-18, 2019-20, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25.

Wayne Rooney (five) had previously held the record, but as long as Salah extends his stay in England beyond this season, he is likely also to extend his lead.

Another Mohamed Salah record

Salah has scored and assisted in seven different Premier League games for Liverpool this season, the joint-most by a player in a single campaign in the competition.

Record goals and assists before Christmas

On Sunday, Mohamed Salah became the first player in Premier League history to reach double figures for both goals and assists for a season before Christmas.

The Egpyian now has 15 goals and 11 assists for 2024-25.

He has also equalled Harry Kane’s record as the joint-quickest in terms of appearances by a player to hit double figures for both in a single campaign.

The former Tottenham forward did it in 2020-21 (when the season’s start was delayed due to COVID-19, so he didn’t manage it by Christmas).

Record-Breaking Chance Creation for Liverpool

Liverpool’s xG total of 5.63 in this match is their largest ever recorded in an away Premier League match.

The Reds tore Tottenham apart on Sunday, creating chances worth 5.63 expected goals?

It’s their highest total in an away Premier League game on record (since 2015-16), and the most by any team in a match this season.

Top scorer and assist provider

Against Tottenham, Mohamed Salah also became the player with the most goals and assists in the Premier League this season.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assist record

With his cross for Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold recorded his 85th assist for Liverpool.

The England international is already the defender with the most assists in the English top flight

With his assist on Sunday, he climbed to joint-fourth on the list of Liverpool players with the most assists in all competitions-level with Steve McManaman.

Salah closing in on Thierry Henry

Finally, Salah now has 172 Premier League goals in his career, just three shy of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

At his rate of scoring, he could overtake Henry (175 goals), Frank Lampard (177 goals), Sergio Aguero (184 goals) and Andrew Cole (187 goals) to become the fourth-highest scorer in Premier League history before the end of the season.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are the favourites to win the Premier League, according to the Opta supercomputer.
