Comments:

League position: 1st Liverpool had now won 11 consecutive home games in the Premier League against fellow Big Six opponents. The Reds had now conceded one goal in each of five of their last seven games in the Premier League and kept clean sheets in the other two. Mohamed Salah had now scored six goals in six home appearances against Tottenham Hotspur for three different teams (also FC Basel and Fiorentina in the UEFA Europa League). This was the first time that Liverpool had not made a substitution in a game in the Premier League since the final game of the 2003-04 season against Newcastle United (15 May 2004).

Comments:

League position: 2nd This was Tottenham Hotspur's first defeat in their last 12 games in the Premier League (won seven). Spurs had conceded two goals in their preceding seven games in the Premier League. SON Heung-Min had now scored 11 goals in 13 appearances so far in this Premier League season; as many as in his 30 appearances in the division in the 2019-20 season.
