Liverpool are just 45 minutes away from clinching their 20th league title after a rampant first-half performance saw them take a 3-1 lead over Tottenham at Anfield.

The match started with a shock for the home side, as former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke silenced the Anfield crowd by heading Spurs into a 12th-minute lead. For a brief moment, Tottenham threatened to spoil Liverpool’s party on what could be a historic afternoon.

However, Liverpool’s response was swift and emphatic. Just minutes later, Luis Diaz tapped home after a review by VAR overturned an offside call, bringing Anfield back to life. The Reds didn’t stop there. Alexis Mac Allister unleashed a thunderous strike from the edge of the box to give Liverpool a 2-1 lead, showcasing once again why he has become a key figure since arriving from Brighton.

Cody Gakpo then added a third with a brilliant individual goal, shifting the ball onto his right foot and drilling it into the far corner, leaving Tottenham’s defense in tatters. His performance on the left wing left Spurs’ full-back Djed Spence struggling to cope.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool’s intensity and quick counter-attacks consistently exposed Tottenham’s vulnerabilities, with Arne Slot’s side showing hunger and ruthlessness in attack. Defensively, Ibrahima Konate made crucial interventions to deny Tottenham a way back into the game, while Alisson remained alert between the sticks.

The Anfield crowd, sensing the magnitude of the moment, roared the team on, singing “We’re gonna win the league” as the champagne remained firmly on ice.

At halftime, Liverpool hold a commanding 3-1 lead, and with just one point needed to secure the title, it looks increasingly likely that they will soon be crowned Premier League champions once again.
