Liverpool enjoyed a fantastic Premier League weekend with the Reds beating Tottenham 6-3 to go four points clear at the top of the table.

One of the most entertaining wins of the season coupled with Chelsea dropping points away to Everton ensured Liverpool sit top of the Premier League going into Christmas Day, with Arne Slot’s looking in great form heading into 2025.

With Mohamed Salah breaking a Premier League record and Dominik Szoboszlai winning plaudits from Glenn Murray, Liverpool’s win was quite amazing even with the Reds conceding three goals against a Tottenham side who were lucky to be in the game at all.

And Alan Shearer was impressed with one Liverpool player in particular during Sunday’s win in north London.

Writing for the Premier League’s official website, the pundit lauded Luis Diaz’s performance against Tottenham as the Liverpool winger scored a brace, with Shearer writing: “Two goals and a great all-round performance.

Even in an unfamiliar role up front, Diaz was too hot for Spurs to handle.”

With Trent Alexander-Arnold, Szoboszlai and Salah also making Shearer’s Team of the Week, Liverpool were the entertainers of the Premier League this weekend as the Anfield side showed why they’re the clear favourites for the title this season.

And Diaz once again got to show the world why he now looks like a new player under Slot, with the winger on course to enjoy his best year yet with Liverpool having found his feet under the Dutch manager this campaign.

Indeed, Stephen Warnock lauded Diaz as ‘sensational’ after the winger’s hat-trick for Liverpool against Bayer Leverkusen, and the attacker’s return to the scoresheet on Sunday is a promising sign for what’s to come from the Colombian in 2025.

With Gary Neville comparing Diaz to Liverpool legend Roberto Firmino based on the forward’s display against Tottenham, it’s safe to say that the former FC Porto star was in top form for the Reds in the English capital on Sunday.

The winger is thriving under Slot with Diaz set fro a potential position change in 2025 having impressed this season in the centre-forward role, with the South American attacker leading the line expertly whenever given the chance.

And against Tottenham, Diaz was Liverpool’s unsung hero, with the forward scoring two crucial goals for the Reds in what was one of the most entertaining games of the season so far for the Anfield side.
