Liverpool reclaimed the Premier League throne on Sunday in spectacular fashion, storming past Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield to seal their 20th English league title — matching Manchester United’s all-time record.
Historic Night at Anfield
Liverpool needed just a point to secure the title but instead delivered a dominant performance under the floodlights, sending Anfield into a frenzy.
Dominic Solanke gave Spurs a surprise early lead, but Liverpool quickly responded through Luis Díaz and Alexis Mac Allister before halftime.
Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah added second-half goals, with Salah setting a new record as the Premier League’s all-time top-scoring foreign player. Destiny Udogie’s own goal completed Tottenham’s collapse.
Emotional Celebrations
This title marks Liverpool’s first with new manager Arne Slot, who succeeded Jürgen Klopp last summer. After the final whistle, players, staff, and thousands of fans celebrated the long-awaited moment together — a full Anfield crowd finally getting the celebration they were denied during the pandemic-era 2020 title win.
Slot made a point to honor Klopp’s legacy postmatch:
“What Jürgen built here, we continued. This is for everyone who never gave up on Liverpool.”
