Liverpool climbs to the top of football, wins the Premier League title
2025-04-27 20:35:23 / SPORT
Liverpool have won a record 20th league title in a stunning debut season for Arne Slott after beating Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield. The 46-year-old, who took over the seemingly unenviable task of succeeding Jürgen Klopp last summer, becomes the first man in Liverpool's illustrious history to win the league title in his debut season with the club.
Anfield were ready to celebrate at first, but there was an early setback when Dominic Solanke unexpectedly headed Spurs ahead after 12 minutes. Liverpool hit back quickly, Luis Díaz's equaliser awarded after a VAR review, before Alexis Mac Allister smashed home in the 23rd minute to put the hosts ahead. Cody Gakpo headed in a corner before half-time to leave the result all but assured.
The second half was a title celebration, capped off by Mohamed Salah scoring Liverpool's fourth - and the Egyptian's 28th league goal of a remarkable season. Salah was close to adding another with 20 minutes remaining, but Destiny Udogie got the ball first for an unfortunate own goal.
Liverpool's triumph and the end of Manchester City's four-season reign as Premier League champions has seemed inevitable for some time with the club having built up a commanding lead over nearest challengers Arsenal since the start of the year. Arsenal's draw with Crystal Palace on Wednesday left the Spurs needing a point from their final five games and they sealed the title with four games remaining.
The victory brings Liverpool level with their fallen rivals, Manchester United, on 20 league titles. It is their second Premier League title in five years, but unlike 2019-20, when Klopp's side ended the club's 30-year wait for a 19th league crown behind closed doors, their latest triumph was celebrated in front of jubilant supporters.
Liverpool were unable to hold a trophy parade five years ago due to the Covid pandemic, but one will be staged in the city on May 26. Klopp could be in attendance, having assembled the extremely talented squad that Slot inherited.
