A chaotic game in north London saw Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz rip apart Postecoglou's side, bagging a brace each with Dominik Szoboszlai and Alex Mac Allister also getting on the scoresheet. Strikes from James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke made the hammering look a little less one-sided, but the scoreline was hugely flattering for the Lilywhites.
