Liverpool matched Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight titles in dominant fashion, crushing Tottenham 5-1.
Liverpool secured their second Premier League title in emphatic fashion on Sunday, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield with four games remaining in the season.
Following Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Wednesday, Arne Slot’s side needed only a single point from their final five matches to seal the championship.
They delivered in dominant fashion, leaving no doubt about their supremacy.
Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke momentarily silenced the home crowd with a 12th-minute header, but Liverpool responded swiftly.
Luis Diaz restored parity in the 16th minute, converting Dominik Szoboszlai’s cross, a goal initially ruled offside but later confirmed after a VAR review.
The Reds took the lead just eight minutes later when Alexis Mac Allister unleashed a powerful left-footed strike from 20 yards, capitalising on a high press that forced Spurs into a costly turnover.
Liverpool’s dominance was further cemented in the 34th minute as Cody Gakpo slotted home after Tottenham’s defensive lapse from a set piece.
Mohamed Salah added a fourth in the 63rd minute with a composed finish on the counter-attack before an own goal by Destiny Udogie under pressure from Salah completed the rout in the 69th minute.
The final whistle ignited jubilant celebrations as Liverpool extended their lead at the top to an insurmountable 15 points.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s struggles continued, leaving them languishing in 16th place, with their Europa League semi-final clash against Bodo/Glimt now their season’s defining fixture.
Man United – 20
Liverpool – 20
Arsenal – 13
Manchester City -10
