Mo Salah creates remarkable piece of Premier League history against Spurs that’s never been done before

Mo Salah has created a new Premier League record thanks to his exploits on the pitch in Liverpool's win over Tottenham Hotspur.

The Anfield outfit will be sitting at the summit of the top flight table after a 6-3 victory on the road against the North London club and are now four points clear of second-placed Chelsea.

Luis Diaz netted the opener for Arne Slot's side before Alexis Mac Allister doubled the advantage, though James Maddison halved the deficit as half-time approached.

But Dominik Szoboszlai restored Liverpool's two-goal cushion in first half stoppage time.

Salah netted a second half brace as Liverpool struck six goals on the road, with Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke scoring Spurs' second and third in the final 20 minutes, before Diaz grabbed his second to net the visitors' sixth as full-time neared.

Salah is once again proving that he is Liverpool's talisman this season, as he has been since he joined the Merseyside club from Roma back in 2017.

Salah is currently out of contract at the end of this season and speaking out last month, the Egypt international believes he is closer to leaving than staying at the club.

He said: "We are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club, [so] I'm probably more out than in.

"You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this. But in the end it is not in my hands. As I said before, it is December and I haven't received anything yet about my future.

"I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end it is not in my hands or the fans' hands. Let's wait and see. Of course [no offer is disappointing], yeah.

"I'm not going to retire soon so I'm just playing, focusing on the season and I'm trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I'm disappointed but we will see."

It remains to be seen if Salah remains at Liverpool beyond this summer, with the player able to sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs abroad from the start of January.

But if this is to be his final season at Anfield, Salah has set a remarkable record in the win over Spurs.

By netting twice, as well as providing the assists for Szoboszlai's strike and Diaz's second goal, means Salah has become the first player in Premier League history to score 10 goals and notch 10 assists before Christmas.
