Liverpool came from behind in emphatic fashion to crush Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 and seal the Premier League title on a memorable afternoon at Anfield.
Needing just a single point to secure their 20th English league title—with four matches still to play—Liverpool were stunned early when Dominic Solanke headed Spurs into a 12th-minute lead.
However, the early setback only delayed the celebrations. Goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister—who scored a sensational strike—and Cody Gakpo turned the game around before halftime.
Liverpool dominated after the break, with Mohamed Salah ending a six-game goal drought by slotting home in the 63rd minute, celebrating his 28th league goal of the season by taking a selfie with a fan. The rout was completed when Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie inadvertently turned the ball into his own net.
It was a dismal day for Tottenham, who suffered their 19th league defeat of the season.
With 82 points from 34 games, Liverpool have drawn level with Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight titles. Arsenal trail far behind in second place with 67 points.
Arne Slot becomes just the fifth manager to win the Premier League in his debut season in England. While the title had been all but confirmed ahead of kickoff, Liverpool made sure to celebrate in style, delivering the triumph in front of a packed and jubilant Anfield crowd.
Unlike five years ago—when Jurgen Klopp’s side ended a 30-year title drought amid pandemic restrictions and empty stands—this time the fans were there in full voice, singing their hearts out to crown a historic achievement.
