liverpool delivered a potent attacking master class on Sunday, with luis Suarez at his devastating best in a 5-0 rout of Tottenham that signals the team can sustain a Premier league title challenge.
The 18-time champions, who haven't won the title since 1990, moved two points behind Arsenal after the leaders were stunned 6-3 at Manchester City on Saturday.
Defending champion Manchester United trails Arsenal by 10 points after winning 3-0 at Aston Villa to avoid a third successive league loss.After Danny Welbeck's double for United, Suarez netted twice for liverpool and played a part in the other three goals at White Hart lane.
After another demoralizing collapse, Tottenham, which see itself as a Champions league team, is five points from fourth place but above United.It is liverpool exceeding expectations this season, sitting in second place.
The gulf between liverpool and Tottenham, although only six points, seemed far wider on the basis of Sunday's lopsided encounter.The contrast between the strike forces in the league is glaring. Suarez has 17 goals in a season that only began in late September as he completed a 10-game biting ban.
