It was a special day at Anfield as Liverpool crushed Tottenham 5-1 to win the Premier League title.
The stadium was a sea of red, with fans singing nonstop, ready to celebrate a historic moment.
Arne Slot made two changes to his starting eleven. Andy Robertson returned at left-back, replacing Kostas Tsimikas. Trent Alexander-Arnold also came back into the team, with Conor Bradley missing out due to a small injury.
Liverpool started fast, pushing forward and creating early chances. Cody Gakpo almost gave the Reds the lead with a brilliant overhead kick after a corner, but it just missed.
However, it was Tottenham who struck first. In the 11th minute, former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke rose highest from a corner and headed the ball into the far corner to put Spurs ahead.
For a moment, Anfield went quiet, but only for a moment.
The response was quick and powerful. Dominik Szoboszlai raced into the box and cut the ball back for Luis Díaz, who finished coolly. The flag went up for offside, but after a VAR check, the goal stood. Liverpool were level at 1-1.
Just minutes later, Liverpool turned the game around. Ryan Gravenberch pressed high and stole the ball from Tottenham’s defence. It fell to Alexis Mac Allister, who smashed a powerful shot into the net’s top to make it 2-1.
The noise from the Kop was deafening.
Liverpool smelled blood and pushed for more. After another corner caused chaos in the Tottenham box, Cody Gakpo picked up the loose ball and fired it into the bottom corner to make it 3-1.
The second half saw Liverpool continue their dominance. Tottenham looked lost, struggling to pass the ball and panicking under Liverpool’s pressing.
Liverpool’s fourth goal came from another quick break. Alexis Mac Allister carried the ball forward and fed Szoboszlai, who slid it across to Mohamed Salah. Salah cut inside onto his left foot and curled a brilliant finish past Vicario. 4-1, and the party was well and truly underway.
The fifth goal summed up Tottenham’s miserable afternoon. Trent Alexander-Arnold whipped in a dangerous cross, and Destiny Udogie, under pressure from Salah, accidentally poked the ball into his net.
From then on, it was pure celebration at Anfield. Fans sang, danced, and waved flags, knowing the title was back where it belongs in Liverpool’s hands.
Arne Slot’s team have now won Liverpool’s 20th league title, matching Manchester United for the most in English football history. And for the first time since 1990, Liverpool were crowned champions in front of a full house at Anfield.
