Following Liverpool’s 6-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, which put them atop the Premier League, Ryan Gravenberch praised the attacking intensity.
With a convincing victory in north London, Arne Slot’s squad moved up to the top of the standings by four points at Christmas.
In addition to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah each scored twice for the Reds.
Liverpool earned their three points, but Tottenham answered with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke.
“We did a great job in the end,” Gravenberch told Liverpoolfc.com after the game.
“I believe we were in control of the game, but we gave up goals in the closing seconds, and we shouldn’t have allowed that to happen. Although we scored six points and played a really good game, that makes me happy, I believe we can still do better.
Regarding what contributed to Liverpool’s overall success…
I believe there was energy in the assaulting portion. The crucial factor was that we ended up scoring six goals.
When you begin the game with genuine intention and desire…
Yes, we wanted to contribute more than Tottenham since we know they have given everything here from the beginning. I believe we did that initially and we scored some excellent goals.
Restoring the two-goal lead prior to the interval after going 3-1 up…
They rallied to 2-1, and it goes without saying that we are playing an away game. They will have the support of the defense. Then Dom scores, and it’s 3-1. It was crucial that we got that goal.
With a game remaining, on increasing the lead at the top to four points once more…
We are very happy in this position. Being at the top of the league is undoubtedly a nice position, but it’s still very early. We must continue in this manner for the next half of the season; after that, we’ll see.
