Liverpool officially clinched their 20th English league title after a resounding 5-1 victory over Tottenham on Sunday at Anfield. This long-awaited triumph, their first since 2020, sees the Reds succeed Manchester City and match Manchester United’s historic record of 20 league titles. With a fifteen-point lead over current runners-up Arsenal, Liverpool secured the crown with four games still to play in the Premier League season.
This title holds special significance for Liverpool and their fans. In 2020, their previous championship celebration was muted by pandemic restrictions. In fact, the last time the Reds were able to celebrate a title at Anfield with their supporters dates back to 1990.
The match against Tottenham started in dramatic fashion, with Dominic Solanke giving the visitors the lead in the 12th minute. However, Liverpool quickly turned things around with goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo, leading 3-1 at halftime. The celebration continued in the second half with Mohamed Salah scoring his 28th Premier League goal of the season, followed by an own goal from Destiny Udogie under pressure from the Egyptian star.
For Arne Slot, who took over last summer from the beloved Jürgen Klopp, this title marks a dream start to his reign at Liverpool. The Dutch manager has wasted no time in restoring Liverpool’s domestic dominance and bringing glory back to Anfield.
