Liverpool (B2B) - Liverpool naik ke puncak klasemen usai kandaskan Tottenham Hotspurs 4-0 dalam pertandingan Liga Premier Inggris pekan ke-32 di stadion Anfield, Minggu (30/3).
Laga baru berjalan dua menit, Liverpool sudah mencetak angka berkat gol bunuh diri bek Tottenham, Younes Kaboul.
Menit ke-25 Luis Suarez mencetak gol kedua bagi Liverpool akibat kesalahan antisipasi Michael Dawson. Gol tersebut merupakan yang ke-29 bagi Suarez sepanjang musim ini, seperti dilansir Yahoo Sports.
Sepuluh menit babak kedua berjalan, Philippe Coutinho mencetak gol ketiga bagi Liverpool memanfaatkan umpan matang John Flanagan dari sisi kanan pertahanan Spurs.
Menit ke-75 giliran Jordan Henderson yang menggenapkan kemenangan 4-0 Liverpool lewat sepakan keras yang tidak mampu dihalau penjaga gawang Hugo Lloris. Skor 4-0 bertahan hingga akhir laga.
Kemenangan ini membawa anak asuh Brendan Rodgers ke pucuk klasemen sementara Liga Premier Inggris dengan raihan 71 poin dari 32 laga menggeser Chelsea yang memiliki 69 poin dengan jumlah laga yang sama.
Sementara itu Tottenham Hotspurs masih tertahan di peringkat keenam dengan 56 poin dari 32 laga dan hanya berjarak dua poin dari peringkat ketujuh yang di huni Manchester United.
Liverpool - Liverpool took advantage of an inept defensive display by Tottenham to cruise to a 4-0 win at Anfield on Sunday and return to the top of the Premier League for the first time since December.
An eighth straight win for Liverpool was never seriously in doubt from the moment Luis Suarez scored his 29th goal of the campaign in the 25th minute, adding to an own-goal by Younes Kaboul inside two minutes.
Philippe Coutinho´s low drive in the 55th and Jordan Henderson´s free kick, which crept in past a mass of legs in the 75th, finished off Spurs and fuelled the growing conviction inside Anfield - and increasingly across the country - that Liverpool can win a first English league title in 24 years.
Liverpool is two points above Chelsea and Manchester City is a further two points back in third, but with two matches in hand.
This defeat left Tottenham eight points behind fourth-place Arsenal in the race for the final Champions League qualification spot and again exposed its shortcomings in the big matches this season.
Spurs has already shipped 11 goals in two matches against City and lost 4-0 at Chelsea this month.
