Liverpool celebrated a significant milestone at Anfield, defeating Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 to clinch the Premier League title for the 20th time, equalling Manchester United's record. The victory comes amid a strong season, with Liverpool amassing 82 points and maintaining their dominance over the league, as Arsenal trails in second with 67 points, according to Dawn, Reuters, and Channel News Asia.
The match unfolded dramatically as Tottenham initially took the lead with an early goal from Dominic Solanke. However, Liverpool quickly responded with goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo before halftime, showing their resilience and strength as they dominated the game. Mohamed Salah's 63rd-minute goal capped off a great performance, ending a six-match scoring drought, according to AA, and Al Jazeera.
Taciturnly, a dismal own goal from Tottenham's Destiny Udogie solidified Liverpool’s victory, leaving Spurs languishing in 16th place with significant relegation concerns. This match marked a historic moment for Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who becomes only the fifth coach to win the Premier League title in their debut season. Slot remarked that the victory was "more than what I can describe," highlighting the emotional significance of the day, according to Reuters.
