Liverpool comfortably defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday, securing their first league title since 2020 and only their second in 35 years.
With this victory, the Reds now have an insurmountable 15-point lead over second-placed Arsenal with just four games remaining, putting them level with their rivals Manchester United as the joint most successful clubs in English top-flight history with 20 titles each.
Liverpool’s previous title win in 2020 was somewhat subdued due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which meant Anfield was largely empty when the trophy was presented.
However, this time, tens of thousands of jubilant fans gathered around Anfield before the game, setting off flares in anticipation of their team’s coronation as champions.
Despite Tottenham briefly threatening an upset with an early goal, Liverpool quickly asserted their dominance. Luis Diaz equalized, followed by goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah.
A late own goal from Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie completed the scoring for Liverpool.
The Anfield crowd celebrated throughout the match, singing club anthems and chanting about winning the league.
After Salah scored, he even took a selfie with a fan using their phone in front of the Kop end.
While Liverpool celebrated their historic achievement, Tottenham’s 19th defeat of the season leaves them in a disappointing 16th place, putting their manager Ange Postecoglou under significant pressure.
The victory marks a successful first season for Liverpool’s new manager, Slot, who took over from Jurgen Klopp.
Despite pre-season doubts about how the team would adapt and speculation surrounding the futures of key players like Salah and Van Dijk (both of whom have since signed extensions), Liverpool have had an outstanding season.
Their consistent form contrasted with the struggles of pre-season favorites Manchester City and the inconsistency of Arsenal, ultimately paving the way for their emphatic title win.
