Jamie Carragher fires warning to Arsenal and Chelsea after Liverpool thrash Tottenham

Jamie Carragher fire a warning to Arsenal and Chelsea after Liverpool thumpe Tottenham 6-3 to go four points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Liverpool’s sensational forward play and Tottenham’s defensive vulnerability resulted in a chaotic nine-goal affair in north London on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs fans had hope when James Maddison got one back after Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister had put the visitors 2-0 up but Liverpool scored again on the stroke of half-time through Dominik Szoboszlai.

Mohamed Salah scored twice in seven https://ufabet999.app second-half minutes to put Liverpool 5-1 up before Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke got two goals back for the hosts.

But any hopes of a stunning comeback were ended when Diaz score his second and Liverpool’s sixth.

The remarkable win leaves Liverpool four points clear at the top of the table on Christmas Day, with Chelsea and Arsenal currently leading the chasing pack.

‘That feels like a really big win,’ Carragher said on after the 6-3 win. I felt this was a big win coming here today.

‘I do think there will be a slight frustration in the dressing room that it didn’t finish 6-1 but. That might even be a good thing because it shows them they can’t let that happen again.

‘I thought Chelsea were outstanding and if you’re Arsenal or Chelsea and you’re watching that, you’re thinking “this lot will take some stopping”. It could have been worse for Tottenham really.’

Carragher add ‘That press conference on Friday from Arne Slot was hilarious. People thought he was defending Ange – I don’t believe that for one minute.

Slot was desperate for Tottenham to play the same way as they played Man Utd and they did.

‘Liverpool could have scored 10. Everyone I spoke to, Liverpool supporters said it was obvious.’

Salah praised Liverpool’s performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but admitted the team ‘needed to improve’ defensively after conceding three goals against Spurs.

We were quite good up front but defensively we need to improve as a team,’ said Salah, who will be out of contract next summer.

‘Conceding three goals is quite hard. It’s a good result, hopefully we just keep going.

‘We expected that [a chaotic game], the way they play, they open the game, they enjoy their football, physically tough and mentally we always have to be in the game.
