THE NOTEBOOK: Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola to appear in Jurgen Klopp’s farewell documentary, Mohamed Salah silences doubters… and Spurs axed latest boss who lost four league games in a row

Liverpool finally found some form in a 4-2 Premier League win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in what was also Jurgen Klopp’s penultimate game at Anfield.

Strikes from Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott pushed Klopp’s men five points behind leaders Arsenal in the table with two games remaining and four points behind holders Manchester City, who have a game in hand. hand against both.

Liverpool talisman Salah headed his 18th league goal of the season in the 16th minute before Robertson doubled their lead with a tap-in just before half-time. Gakpo headed in Elliott’s cross in the 50th, then the midfielder hit his own with a rocket from 20 yards that curled into the top corner.

Richarlison and Son Heung-min struck two back to give a lively finish, but a comeback was not in the cards for Ange Postecoglou’s fifth-placed Spurs.

Mail Sport’s Aadam Patel picks out some things you may have missed.

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah scored the opening goal and set up two more in the win over Spurs.

Salah silences the skeptics

It’s fair to say that Mohamed Salah was a man on a mission here from the start. His name received very loud cheers from the Anfield crowd before the match and he attempted to score from an outrageous angle early on and hit the bar.

Salah gave Liverpool the lead before scoring an assist for the second goal. The Egyptian now has over 25 goals in all competitions this season and for those who doubt it, he has achieved this feat in six of his seven seasons at Anfield.

Salah is the first player in Premier League history to score more than 10 goals and provide more than 10 assists in three consecutive seasons.

Bajcetic makes welcome return

The biggest applause of the afternoon was reserved for 19-year-old Stefan Bajcetic, who made his first Premier League appearance since March 2023.

It was an impressive appearance from the 19-year-old, who came on in the 65th minute, winning six out of eight duels and remaining calm in possession.

One would expect him to have a big future playing next season, but it has been a strange campaign for the Spaniard, who burst onto the scene last season, with injuries and other reasons limiting him to a single departure for Liverpool.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola interviewed for special Jurgen Klopp documentary

Guardiola and Fergie pay tribute

As part of Jurgen Klopp’s farewell, Liverpool will release a special documentary featuring exclusive interviews with the world’s biggest names in management.

Sir Alex Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino have all been interviewed for the show which will be released in the coming weeks.

Mail Sport understands that the Anfield media team were keen to explore their own different angle to cover Klopp’s departure, with a multi-episode documentary series already in the works for the German’s final season at the club.

Klopp must exercise caution

Both managers were one yellow card away from a touchline suspension with three warnings over the course of a season leading to a one-match ban for the managers.

There was, however, no sign that Jurgen Klopp had earned a tactical warning, meaning he will have to be extra careful for Liverpool’s penultimate match at Aston Villa next Monday.

Whoever is in charge of this game, it would take a lot of tough work to send Klopp into the stands for his final Liverpool game at Anfield.

A milestone for the Spurs star

Son Heung-min made his 300th Premier League appearance, becoming the third player to reach the milestone for Spurs after Hugo Lloris (361) and Harry Kane (317).

He has now scored in five consecutive Premier League games against Liverpool, the longest run against them in the competition (also five for Jamie Vardy between 2016 and 2017).

Ange Postecoglou set to avoid sacking despite Spurs’ fourth consecutive defeat

Postecoglou hopes to avoid Santini’s fate

Despite all the hype that initially surrounded Ange Postecoglou, it is worth pointing out that Spurs have now lost four Premier League games in a row for the first time since 2004. That run ended with the sacking of Jacques Santini.

Spurs are highly unlikely to make a manager change this summer, but the last few weeks will certainly have given Postecoglou a better idea of ​​who he wants in his team next season.

However, we must recognize the merit of his four substitutions, which had an impact. Spurs looked like a different team with Richarlison as their number nine.
