Liverpool are Premier League champions once again after crushing Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield. The Reds, needing just a point to seal the title, delivered a statement performance that showcased their brilliance and determination under Arne Slot.
It was Tottenham who struck first against the run of play, with Dominic Solanke heading home from a James Maddison corner after 12 minutes. But Liverpool responded almost immediately. Luis Diaz slid in an equalizer after a clever pass from Dominik Szoboszlai, reigniting the Anfield faithful.
Momentum shifted decisively as Alexis Mac Allister fired Liverpool into the lead with a stunning left-footed rocket from distance. Cody Gakpo made it 3-1 before halftime, capitalizing on a poor clearance to beat Vicario with a composed finish.
After the break, Liverpool showed no mercy. Mohamed Salah, ending a six-game goalless spell, cut inside and lashed a shot past Vicario to make it 4-1. Destiny Udogie's unfortunate own goal shortly after only deepened Tottenham’s misery, sealing a comprehensive 5-1 scoreline for the hosts.
Tottenham, struggling and sitting 16th in the table, failed to mount any serious comeback as Liverpool continued to dominate possession and chances.
The title is Liverpool’s second in the Premier League era and their 20th overall, drawing them level with Manchester United for most English top-flight championships. With four matches still to play, the Reds now travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on May 4, while Tottenham turn their attention to a crucial Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt.
Anfield erupted at full time — Liverpool are once again kings of England!
