Why not sooner, Liverpool? The Reds unquestionably beat Tottenham 4-2 at Anfield and, although they maintain mathematical chances of winning the Premier League, they are clear that they are very remote.
The thing is that those led by Klopp arrived at the match already very committed to the dispute for the title.: eight points behind Arsenal and seven behind Manchester City, with nine to play. With the added incentive that the Citizens have one less game. But with the need to win and recover after a brief bad moment that ended up compromising him and that generated disagreements in the squad.with the fight between Salah and the coach in the middle of the match against West Ham (2-2 draw) that ended with “If I speak, there will be fire“from Egyptian.
All the bad vibes were quickly deactivated at Anfield. Firstly because the public began to say goodbye to Klopp and secondly because Liverpool took little time to put the match on track, just 16 minutes. Cody Gakpo faced inside, threw a cross to the far post and Salah connected for the first.
At the end of the first half, Andy Robertson extended the lead by capturing a rebound from Vicario. And as soon as the second half began, the Reds would expand with a header from Gakpo and a bomb from Harvey Elliot to finish it off.
The final minutes, however, belonged to the Spurs. With the entry of Richarlison they went ahead, and the Brazilian connected with a low cross from Brennan Johnson to score one goal. Furthermore, minutes later he received Alisson Becker with his back turned and did his thing by seeing Son arrive for 2-4.
But the match was definitively over. Liverpool returned to victory after two catastrophic dates in which they lost the Merseyside derby against an Everton that wandered around the bottom of the table and was saved from relegation near the end and an irregular West Ham. And although he is five from the lead with six left to play, he sees the miracle far away. The consolation that remains is that he will surely return to the UEFA Champions League after one season. Tottenham, for its part, was left without a chance to compete in the top European competition and will have to settle for the UEFA Europa League.
