LONDON - Arne Slot urged "incredible" Liverpool not to take their foot off the gas, after the English Premier League leaders thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 6-3 to move four points clear at the top of the table.
Slot claimed Liverpool's goal spree in north London on Dec 22 ranked as their best away performance since he arrived from Feyenoord to replace Jurgen Klopp in the close season.
Mohamed Salah was the catalyst with two goals and two assists, while Luis Diaz also bagged a brace, alongside strikes from Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Slot's side have won 21 of their 25 games in all competitions this term, a remarkable run that leaves them in pole position to win the title for the first time since 2020, while also competing for the Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.
But, despite their blistering form, Liverpool's concession of two late goals to Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke was frustrating for Slot, who called on his team to stay focused until the end of every game.
James Maddison also found the net for Tottenham late in the first half.
