LIVERPOOL: Liverpool triumphed 5-1 over Tottenham on Sunday to clinch the Premier League title, securing their 20th top-flight crown.
The win at Anfield saw the Reds storm back after conceding an early goal to Tottenham. Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo all scored, with an own goal from Tottenham’s Destiny Udogie sealing the dominant victory.
Liverpool, now 15 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, matched Manchester United's record for most English top-flight titles.
The fans, who missed celebrating the 2020 title due to COVID-19 restrictions, were in full celebration mode.
Salah added a fifth goal and then celebrated by taking a selfie with a fan in front of the Kop.
Tottenham, struggling at 16th in the table, faced their 19th defeat of the season, putting manager Ange Postecoglou under pressure.
Liverpool’s 82 points and dominant performance solidified their league lead with just four games remaining.
The victory comes after manager Arne Slot successfully navigated Liverpool through a transition season following Jurgen Klopp’s departure, with speculation over key players like Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold now settled, with extensions signed by Salah and Van Dijk.
