Mohamed Salah and his teammates erupted in celebration after the Egyptian star netted Liverpool’s fourth goal in their title-clinching victory on April 27th
Liverpool sealed their 20th top-flight league crown in emphatic fashion, thrashing Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield to officially claim the Premier League trophy. The Reds’ triumph was confirmed after closest challengers Arsenal stumbled to a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace earlier in the week, leaving them unable to catch Liverpool in the standings.
Despite an early scare when Dominic Solanke put Tottenham ahead in the 12th minute, Luis Díaz swiftly equalized just four minutes later, settling any nerves among the home crowd. From there, Liverpool took full control, with Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Salah, and an own goal from Destiny Udogie sealing a resounding victory.
The title marks Liverpool’s first league triumph in four years and their 20th overall, drawing them level with Manchester United as the most successful clubs in English top-flight history. Prior to the Premier League era, the Merseysiders had already secured 18 First Division titles, with their most recent pre-1992 triumph coming in 1990. Their 2020 Premier League win was marred by pandemic restrictions, denying fans the chance to celebrate properly—making this long-awaited homecoming all the sweeter.
For manager Arne Slot, the achievement is particularly remarkable, as the Dutchman has guided Liverpool to glory in his debut season at the helm. “At the start of the campaign, securing Champions League qualification would have been seen as a success,” Slot admitted post-match. “But this squad has shown they’re capable of so much more.”
With the title secured in front of a jubilant Anfield crowd, Liverpool can now savor their first proper league celebration in 35 years.
