The Reds defeated Spurs 6-3 in the Premier League on Sunday (22.12.24) and the coach felt it was his team's best away performance since he took charge in the summer.

Slot said: "It was very good. Maybe it was our best performance away from home, although I really like what I saw from Man United (in September) as well.

"Until the 60th to 65th minute, I really, really enjoyed what I saw. Of course we were caught one time in bringing the ball out from the back and it immediately led to a goal for Tottenham.

"I think if we would have gone into the dressing room with a 2-1 (half-time) lead, that would not have done justice to all the chances we had. That is why I was quite happy with the fact we scored for 3-1.

"Then 4-1, 5-1, incredible display, but then you also saw, no matter how much quality players you have, if they think they don’t have to run any more in this league and especially against Tottenham, because they are so good with the ball as well, they immediately start to create.

"That’s what they did and they scored two goals. I was happy that the sixth one went in to be fair."

The result means Liverpool sit four points clear at the top of the table at Christmas although Slot warned his team that there is plenty of work still to be done.

He said: "Of course it means something because you always prefer to be where we are at the moment than to be in another position in the league table, but you know just as well as I know – because I have won the league once – how hard it is to win it.

"You have to keep going, keep on going. Every three days you have to be on the top of your game. Every minute and that’s why it is so hard to win it."
