Mane and Firmino Shine as Liverpool Secures a Third Consecutive League Double
Liverpool delivered a stellar performance, reigniting their scoring prowess to secure a 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, completing a third consecutive league double against the London side. The match saw a flurry of action, with Roberto Firmino opening the scoring in first-half stoppage time (45+4) and Trent Alexander-Arnold extending the lead shortly after the break (47). Tottenham briefly narrowed the gap through Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (49), but Sadio Mané sealed the win with Liverpool’s third goal in the 65th minute.
Tottenham struggled defensively, with manager José Mourinho lamenting individual errors that repeatedly cost his team.
