Mohamed Salah praised Liverpool's attacking play following the Reds' frantic 6-3 Premier League victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Arne Slot's side earned an impressive three points in north London to move themselves four clear at the top of the standings at Christmas.

Salah himself was on the scoresheet twice while recording two assists in the win, alongside a Luis Diaz double and goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai in what was a clinical display in front of goal.

James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke were also on target for the hosts, though Liverpool were largely in control of the contest throughout.

Read what Salah had to say about the result, speaking to Sky Sports post-match, below…

On the overall performance…

We were quite good in front but defensively I think we need to improve as a team - not just individually. [We] conceded three goals and it's quite hard. Virgil [van Dijk], me and Ali [Alisson Becker] spoke about that. It's quite a good result and hopefully we just keep going.

On his reflections on a 'crazy match'...

I think we expected the way they play just like they open the game and they enjoy the football. As you can see, the game is really tough physically and also mentally you have to be always in the game. I'm glad we managed to win the game.

On Tottenham's style of play…

They have the way they play. They don't change it much. It's quite intense and you can see [Manchester] City came here and struggled and some other teams came here and struggled. I'm really glad we managed to win the game because they really play a very intense game.

On making Premier League history by hitting double figures for both goals and assists before Christmas…

I didn't think about it before the game, to be fair, but I'm glad I did it. [It's] something that makes me happy. I'm proud and I'll just keep working hard.

On moving up to fourth on the all-time list of Liverpool goalscorers…

Of course it's something great to achieve. It's such a big club, Liverpool. But again, the most important thing is we won the game, but to have that achievement is great.

On whether he can break Ian Rush's record…

I don't know how he scored that many goals, to be fair. I think the football in that time was quite seven versus seven and not really 11 versus 11! He's a great legend for the club and we have a good contact. Whatever I'm going to end my career with I'm happy about it, so let's see.
