The Reds' 6-3 victory in north London extended their advantage over Chelsea to four points despite having played a match less.
Arne Slot's side have suffered just one defeat in the league so far this term ahead of their home clash with Leicester on Boxing Day.
Here, talkSPORT looks at the stats behind Liverpool's remarkable season so far and how history suggests the campaign may end.
Top on Christmas Day
Sunday's result means Liverpool will be top of the Premier League on Christmas Day for the seventh time since the Premier League's creation in 1992.

However, despite being champions of England 18 times prior to that, the Reds have only won the trophy once, during the 2019/20 season.
Overall, exactly half of sides to have topped the table at Christmas have become champions - 16 out of a possible 32.
Of those, Chelsea, Manchester City and Blackburn have won the title every time they have been top on December 25.
City's task
City also have the distinction of being one of the four sides to have won the league after being outside the top four at Christmas.
Last season's fourth title in a row came after they reached the big day in fifth place.
The champions sat six points behind leaders Arsenal with a game in hand before going on to claim the title.

City are once again outside the Champions League places this year.
After losing to Aston Villa on Saturday, Pep Guardiola's side are down in seventh and 12 points adrift of Liverpool.
The result also extended their poor run of form to just one win in 12 matches across all competitions.
Record-breaking Salah
Much of Liverpool's success this season is thanks to the form of Mohamed Salah.
The forward scored twice and provided a pair of assists against Spurs to make Premier League history.

Salah is the first player ever to record more than ten goals and assists in the Premier League before Christmas Day.
Meanwhile, he has now scored 229 goals in 373 appearances for the club to surpass Billy Liddell in Liverpool's all-time scoring charts.
Now the Reds' fourth highest scorer, Salah remains behind Gordon Hodgson (241), Roger Hunt (285) and Ian Rush (346).
Unbeatable
Liverpool have made it to Christmas with just one defeat from their opening 16 Premier League matches.

Their 1-0 reverse against Nottingham Forest in September came at Anfield, with the Reds still unbeaten away from home this term.
It is just the third time that feat has been achieved by the club since they were founded in 1892.
However, fans may have to wait a while for a repeat, with each time so far coming in a different century.
Liverpool were unbeaten on the road at Christmas in both the 1893/94 and 1987/88 seasons.
Both of those campaigns ended with the club winning the league they were in.
From their eight away matches so far this term, Slot has seen his team win six times and draw on two occasions.
