Liverpool Football Club has clinched their 20th English league title, equalling Manchester United’s record, with a commanding 5–1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. This triumph marks their second Premier League title and the first under new head coach Arne Slot, who achieved this feat in his debut season.
The match began with an early setback as Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke opened the scoring in the 12th minute. However, Liverpool responded swiftly and decisively. Luis Díaz equalised following a VAR review, and goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo before halftime put the Reds firmly in control. In the second half, Mohamed Salah added his 28th league goal of the season, and an own goal by Destiny Udogie sealed the emphatic win.
Arne Slot’s appointment in June 2024 was met with cautious optimism. Succeeding the charismatic Jürgen Klopp, Slot quickly instilled a winning mentality, leading Liverpool to the title with four games to spare. His tactical acumen and ability to motivate the squad were evident throughout the season.
Mohamed Salah played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s success, finishing the season with 28 league goals. His consistent performances and leadership on the field were instrumental in the team’s dominance. Salah’s contribution was celebrated by fans, especially as this title allowed for jubilant scenes at Anfield, contrasting the behind-closed-doors celebrations of their 2020 triumph.
With the Premier League title secured, Liverpool will hold a celebratory parade on 26 May. The club’s focus now shifts to maintaining their dominance and building upon this season’s success under Slot’s guidance. The future looks promising for the Reds as they aim to add more silverware to their illustrious history.
