The highlight of the Premier League weekend came in a nine goal thriller as Liverpool triumphed 6-3 over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, Afrosport reports.
Luis Diaz opened the scoring in the 23rd minute to put Liverpool in front and Mac Allister doubled it just thirteen minutes later.
Spurs were not backing down though as James Madison pulled one back in the 41st minute to give the home team a bit of hope. It was not going to count for much as Dominik Szboszlai made it 3-1 in Liverpool’s favor just before halftime.
The second half began and less than 20 minutes later it was 5-1 lead with Mohamed Salah coming through with a brace. Dejan Kukuveski and Dominick Solanke got one each to reduce the goal difference but Liverpool were going to have the last hit as Luis Diaz completed his brace in the 85th minute.
