Liverpool secured the Premier League title on Sunday following an emphatic 5-1 triumph over Tottenham at Anfield. This commanding victory established a 15-point lead at the summit of the table with only four matches remaining. While a draw would have been sufficient, the Reds` prolific scoring display underscored the attacking prowess that defined their successful campaign.
The match didn`t start perfectly for the hosts, as Dominic Solanke put the visitors ahead in the 12th minute. However, Luis Diaz quickly equalized in the 16th minute, setting the stage for Liverpool`s title confirmation. Further goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and a Destiny Udogie own goal sealed the dominant win and sparked celebrations across Liverpool.
Liverpool had been strong favourites throughout the season, having suffered only two defeats and maintaining a significant lead over their closest rivals for months. This achievement comes in Arne Slot`s inaugural season at the helm. A key factor in their success has been the outstanding performance of Mohamed Salah, who has contributed 28 goals and 18 assists, marking one of the most prolific attacking seasons witnessed in the Premier League.
This title represents Liverpool`s first since the 2019-20 campaign, and remarkably, only their second league championship in the Premier League era, which began in 1992-93.
