The Reaction : Reds top at Christmas as ...

Liverpool FC
About this episode
Liverpool will be four points clear at the top of the Premier League on Christmas Day after a dominant 6-3 victory away at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Headers from Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister put the Reds two goals up after 36 minutes, before James Maddison pulled one back.

Dominik Szoboszlai added the visitors' third in first-half stoppage time and was then joined on the scoresheet by Mohamed Salah, who converted twice following the interval.

Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke netted what proved to be consolations as Diaz completed the scoring to see Arne Slot's side take advantage of second-placed Chelsea dropping points earlier in the day.

Coming up in this podcast Arne Slot and Ryan Gravenberch give us their thoughts on the breathless encounter in the capital.

Former Red Former Phil Thompson and current LFC Women defender Gemma Bonner joined Rob Jones in the studio for LFCTV's post-match show, whilst Nigel Spackman gave his analysis of the game from down at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

We also received contributions throughout the podcast from local fans Si Steers and Abigail Rudkin and from over in the US, Michael Crump from the Official LFC Supporters Club in Atlanta.
