Liverpool sealed their 20th English top-flight crown in spectacular fashion, demolishing Tottenham 5-1 at an electrified Anfield on Sunday. The commanding victory not only secured the club’s record-tying title but also cemented their status as one of the most successful clubs in Premier League history, now tied with Manchester United.
Anfield was alive with passion as the home crowd erupted in chants, especially after a stirring rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” setting the tone for this historic occasion. Liverpool, now uncatchable by second-placed Arsenal, celebrated a season of resilience and brilliance.
The match kicked off with Liverpool on the front foot. Mohamed Salah had an early attempt, and Cody Gakpo nearly scored with an overhead kick, but Tottenham briefly threatened to spoil the party when Dominic Solanke headed home from James Maddison’s corner in the 12th minute. Yet, Liverpool responded swiftly.
Just four minutes later, Luis Diaz leveled the score with a close-range finish after Dominik Szoboszlai’s cross initially ruled offside but awarded after VAR review. The momentum shifted decisively in Liverpool’s favor.
By the 24th minute, Alexis Mac Allister unleashed a thunderous shot from outside the box, giving Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario little chance. The home side’s energy was palpable, and Gakpo added a third with a sharp finish into the bottom corner after Spurs failed to clear their lines.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, who made eight changes from their previous defeat, faced a daunting task as his side struggled to contain Liverpool’s relentless attack. Tottenham’s focus was on their upcoming Europa League semi-finals, but on this day, they were overwhelmed.
The crowd’s joy reached new heights when Salah scored his 20th goal of the season, collecting Szoboszlai’s pass, then cutting inside before unleashing a precise shot into the bottom corner. Celebrating by taking a selfie with a fan’s phone in front of the Kop, Salah’s moment epitomized the electric atmosphere.
As the final whistle blew, chants of “We’re going to win the league” and “We shall not be moved” echoed through Anfield, celebrating Liverpool’s historic triumph and the return to top-flight glory after a challenging season.
