Liverpool were crowned champions of England for a record-equalling 20th time on Sunday after crushing Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield in front of a jubilant home crowd.
The emphatic win lifted Arne Slot’s side to 82 points, making it mathematically impossible for second-placed Arsenal to catch them, as the Gunners now trail by 15 points with only four matches remaining. It sealed Liverpool’s second Premier League title and their first in five years.
Slot’s men have been firm favourites to reclaim the crown for months, combining relentless attacking football with defensive solidity. On Sunday, they completed the job in style, treating Anfield to a sparkling display befitting the occasion.
Unlike their 2019-20 triumph, which was marred by the Covid-19 pandemic and played out behind closed doors, this title was celebrated amid a sea of red at a packed Anfield. Five years ago, Liverpool fans were denied the chance to witness their heroes lift the trophy in person due to restrictions, but this time, the scenes of jubilation were unforgettable.
With four games still left to play, Liverpool have the chance to extend their points tally and further stamp their dominance on what has been a remarkable campaign.
The triumph also sees Liverpool draw level with Manchester United’s all-time record of 20 English top-flight titles, rekindling the historic rivalry between the two most successful clubs in England’s football history.
