Suarez breaks record in another Liverpool rout of Spurs

LUIS SUAREZ made Liverpool history as the title-chasing Reds went top of the Premier League table with a 4-0 win over Tottenham yesterday.Tim Sherwood’s visitors didn’t look anywhere near up for the prospect of exacting sweet revenge on their hosts for the 5-0 pounding they suffered in December at White Hart Lane.

And defensive errors littered their performance, with Liverpool’s very first attack of the match culminating in a Younes Kaboul own goal after one minute and 38 seconds.
Suarez doubled the advantage on 25 minutes, preying on confusion amongst the Spurs back line after Jan Vertonghen was forcibly replaced by Michael Dawson to become the highest-scoring Liverpool player in a single league season.
Though Tottenham had occasional spells of decent possession, they did little more than underscore how impotent they were in the final third, other than perhaps remind the Reds not to get complacent.
Phillippe Coutinho’s lovely low drive and Jordan Henderson’s deceptive free-kick ensured there would be no repeat of the late drama in the win against Sunderland and put Brendan Rodgers’ side top of the table at the end of the weekend.
It’s now one win down, six to go in the very clear mission if Liverpool are to end their lengthy league title drought: win every remaining fixture and make it 14 victories in succession, and they will be champions.
