Gary Neville was bowled over by Trent Alexander-Arnold's masterful performance as Liverpool swept past Tottenham.

The Reds defender was on fire, delivering a series of immaculate passes that tore through Tottenham's back line.

The awe in Neville's voice was palpable as he commentated for Sky Sports, particularly when Alexander-Arnold laid on an exquisite ball to Salah after just 10 minutes.

He placed Alexander-Arnold's remarkable talent for deliveries up there with the likes of David Beckham, Kevin De Bruyne and Anfield legend Steven Gerrard.

"De Bruyne, Beckham and Gerrard maybe.

That level of accuracy, whip, he gets it absolutely perfect."

The Reds only shone brighter as the half progressed with Dominik Szoboszlai enhancing his reputation through a cleverly taken flicked header, finished expertly by Alexis Mac Allister.

While James Maddison snatched a goal back for Leicester, the night belonged undeniably to Liverpool, rounding off with a goal from Szoboszlai after a neatly performed offensive sequence.

Liverpool eventually triumphed with a 6-3 victory, going into half-time leading 3-1, with both Mohamed Salah and Diaz netting two goals each.

This win propelled the Reds four points ahead of Chelsea at the top of the table, with Arne Slot's team also having an advantage of a game in hand over the Blues.

Earlier that day, Chelsea was held in a 0-0 draw by Everton at Goodison Park, while Arsenal, despite its 5-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, still trails Liverpool by six points.
