Liverpool's trip to Tottenham was predictably filled with goals as the Reds hit their hosts for six in North London.

Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz both scored twice, with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai also getting on the scoresheet, while James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke scored for England.

Members of the national press were in attendance for the nine-goal thriller, and here's a round-up of what some of the reporters had to say about the match...

The Guardian said: "This was one of the most dominant performances of Slot’s tenure, which shows 21 wins out of 25 matches in all competitions with three draws. The Liverpool press was suffocating. Whenever a Spurs player had the ball, he invariably felt the heat. Slot started Díaz in a false 9 role partly because of his remorseless energy, the tone that he sets out of possession.

"It was also about what Liverpool did with the ball. They threatened repeatedly to open Spurs up, to get in around the sides with overlaps. Or through more central areas on the transition. Basically, from any angle."

Meanwhile, The Times spoke about just how tempting Tottenham made it for Liverpool to truly flex their muscles: "Arne Slot is not a showman and under his command Liverpool have been efficient in giving us spurts of beauty and breathtaking pace and finishing – but not too often. It is a long and harrowing and draining campaign and the Dutchman plans for the long haul. But sometimes an opponent is so open and so vulnerable that it is harder to be deadpan than witty and so Liverpool played as if with a fit of the giggles. This was great fun and, crucially, did not sap the team at all."

The Telegraph touched on Mohamed Salah's excellence after he moved onto 15 goals and 11 assists in the league: "Are you not entertained? With a grin Ange Postecoglou borrowed the famous line from the movie Gladiator following the thrilling midweek win over Manchester United. But it is one thing putting a team with United’s many evident problems to the sword in the Carabao Cup and another going into arena with would-be title winners.

"Liverpool had the imperious touch of champions and there was only one Maximus on this display. It was, as so often, Mohamed Salah who tore Tottenham apart with two more goals and two more assists. He almost scored three times in the opening 10 minutes, striking the crossbar, and was almost unstoppable."

The Athletic spoke of Dominik Szoboszlai's importance in its talking points from the match: "Right from his first competitive game as Liverpool head coach — away to Ipswich Town — Arne Slot has emphasised the necessity of winning duels. With Liverpool and Tottenham matched up in nearly identical 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 formations, it meant plenty of long passes and second balls. Szoboszlai’s positional awareness and headed passes made all the difference.

"Tottenham went particularly direct by their standards, and frequently Liverpool’s back four were forced to return the ball aerially rather than bring it down. Szoboszlai had five headed passes in the first half and completed four, flicking it on to a midfielder who could get Liverpool out on the wings. Collectively, Liverpool completed 15 of their 18 headed passes and won four out of five aerial duels in the first half.

"The final of Szoboszlai’s five was from a hopeful Alexander-Arnold long ball after the full-back was played into trouble and Tottenham pressed. Szoboszlai won the aerial duel against Dragusin and chased his pass as Liverpool carved Tottenham apart, slotting past Forster from Salah’s assist."
