Liverpool unstoppable in title race unless Arsenal or Chelsea produce miracles

Liverpool were at their destructive best on Sunday, as they smashed Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 in front of their own fans.

The Reds were in control of the away encounter after first-half goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, despite James Maddison reducing the arrears.

Mohamed Salah then put the game beyond doubt by scoring twice in seven minutes.

Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke threatened to give the scoreline an unrealistic appearance until Diaz wrapped up a memorable win with a late sixth.

The latest result means Liverpool have extended their lead to four points at the top of the table.

They also have a game in hand over their title rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.

The Merseyside giants have been unstoppable this campaign under Arne Slot, losing just one of their 16 top-flight matches.

They are cruising toward their 19th league title unless the two London clubs produce miracles during the second-half of the season.

Chelsea were on an eight-game winning run ahead of Sunday’s clash at Everton. But their impressive streak came to an end after the Toffees held them to a goalless draw.

Manager Enzo Maresca pointed to a lack of clinical finishing that saw them dropping points at Goodison Park.

Arsenal haven’t been entirely convincing themselves, though they thumped Crystal Palace 5-1 at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Liverpool have been relentless this campaign, grinding out results even when they weren’t at their best.

The Blues and Mikel Arteta’s side boast some world-class players in their ranks, but they need to put together a consistent run to have a chance of beating the Reds.
