Liverpool 5-1 Spurs
Liverpool is the Premier League champion after defeating Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield.
The Reds are England’s champions, the 20th record, although this is only the second in their Premier League era – the pandemic has prevented supporters from celebrating another inside the stadium. It was a dream first season for Arne Slot.
Against a Tottenham Hotspur team that made eight changes for the first time in Premier League history – a Gary Neville will continue to call “the perfect opponent” for Liverpool – Ange Postecoglou's side did shock Dominic Solanke.
But his header was the shortest fear. Luis Diaz, who was not allowed to be offside after a 2023 goal against the Spurs, saw the flag rise after turning to Dominik Szoboszlai's cross, but this time VAR did correct Stockley Park's decision.
There is no debate about Alexis Mac Allister shooting from the edge of the box with the beauty behind Mathys Tel putting the ball in the corner. Anfield party started and held when Cody Gakpo scored freely before halftime.
Mohamed Salah competed in the second half with his 28th Premier League goal of the season, Tottenham Hotspur thirsty for the afternoon, and Destiny Udogie has long turned the ball into his own net. Liverpool supporters don't want it to stop at all.
Liverpool's championship victory fully emphasizes the 15-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Their scoring ability makes them different. They scored 80 goals, while the Gunners had 63 goals.
A cherished team must also remember those supporters who have waited for 35 years to enjoy such an afternoon. Sir Alex Ferguson has talked about eliminating them from bass and overhauling the 18 titles at the time. Liverpool is now back to its highest point.
