At the break of dawn on Monday (23rd), Liverpool made a strong comeback in the goal tussle, with Mohamed Sana scoring twice and adding two brilliant assists to make it a four-goal win over Tottenham Hotspur by a 6-3 scoreline. With the win, Liverpool moved four points and one game ahead of second-placed LUFC, locking up early honors as the Premier League's Christmas champions. It's worth noting that this is the 21st time Liverpool have spent Christmas as the 1st brother of England's top flight, and 11 of those times they've managed to win the title, giving them a 55% win rate.
The match started with Liverpool away to Tottenham Hotspur, and the visitors got on the board first in the 23rd minute when Luis Diaz scored with a flying header. Then in the 36th minute, Alys McAleese made it 2-0 when he grabbed the ball in front of the goal. 5 minutes later, Tottenham Hotspur's James Maddison pulled a goal back for his team, and Sanaa then came on to show his terrifying strength. The Egyptian striker first assisted Suboslar's goal and then scored twice. Although Tottenham Hotspur scored twice in the middle and late stages thanks to Galuszewski and Solanki, Shana's assist gave Liverpool a 6-3 victory.
Liverpool have won 9 and lost 3 of their last 12 league games, narrowing the gap to Chelsea to 4 points, and despite playing a game less, they are the Premier League Christmas champions once again after the 20/21 season. However, being Christmas champions doesn't mean the title is in the bag. Liverpool have won just 55% of the last 20 times they have played as 1st Brother over Christmas. In the last six Premier League eras, the Christmas champions have been even more successful, winning the title in the 19/20 ball season.
Of course it means a lot to be the Christmas champions, said Liverpool leader Schillo. We always want to stay at the top of the table at home. The most important thing is to keep going, it's not easy to play a game every 3 or 4 months. One little mistake is enough to affect the result, just like I didn't expect to lose points in this round (0-0 draw with Ewarton).
