Liverpool have sealed the 2024/25 Premier League title in stunning fashion after brushing aside Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield.
Although Spurs grabbed an early lead through Dominic Solanke, Liverpool responded quickly and never looked back.
Just four minutes after conceding, Luis Diaz levelled matters, and from that moment the Reds seized total control. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo before halftime ensured Liverpool went into the break in a commanding position.
After the restart, Arne Slot’s side maintained their dominance, and their persistence paid off once more. Mohamed Salah, the league’s top scorer, found the net again after firing in Liverpool’s fourth goal three minutes past the hour mark.
It was Salah’s 28th league goal of the season. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak remains second on the scorers’ chart, trailing the Egyptian by six goals.

Prior to kickoff, Liverpool only needed to avoid defeat to officially clinch the title. Yet, they chose to win emphatically, rewarding their fans with a spectacular display of attacking football.

Fans get to celebrate the title in the stadium this time around
Reflecting on the past, Liverpool’s 2020 title celebrations were muted due to COVID-19 restrictions. At that time, Jordan Henderson lifted the trophy inside an empty Anfield, leaving fans longing for a true crowning moment.
Thankfully, five years later, Liverpool fans finally witnessed what they had dreamed of for so long. This time, Virgil van Dijk, in a packed Anfield, will proudly lift the Premier League trophy high above his head.
Nevertheless, Liverpool’s season isn’t over yet, as they still have four games remaining to play. Trips to Chelsea and Brighton, as well as a crucial home clash against Arsenal, await the newly crowned champions.
Moreover, fans are eagerly anticipating the final home game against Crystal Palace on Sunday, May 25. It is after this match that the official trophy presentation is expected to take place.
As Liverpool match Manchester United’s 20 league titles, a new chapter in their historic rivalry is set to unfold. Clearly, the hunger for more glory burns brighter than ever for the red half of Merseyside.
Meanwhile, discussions regarding a trophy parade are underway, and details are expected to be confirmed in the coming days. Whatever happens, the celebrations this time around will certainly surpass those of 2020.
