Liverpool moved to a record-matching 20th top-flight title with a commanding 5-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on a landmark day for Arne Slot after he became just the sixth manager to win the Premier League in his first campaign.
Spurs briefly threatened to wreck the party when former Liverpool man Dominic Solanke nodded the visitors ahead on 12 minutes. But the advantage lasted just four minutes as Luis Díaz finished following wonderful interplay between Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai.
The relentless pressing effort of Liverpool wore down Tottenham not long after, with Alexis Mac Allister belting home after winning back possession, before Cody Gakpo added a third when Spurs failed to clear a corner. Salah, breaking a six-game goal drought, added the fourth early in the second half with a clinical finish at the near post from a Szoboszlai pass.
The wretched evening got worse for Spurs when Destiny Udogie put Trent Alexander-Arnold’s ball into his own net to confirm another dispiriting trip to Anfield for the north London club.
Liverpool’s victory triggered wild celebrations as they got their hands on the Premier League trophy at a packed Anfield for the first time and provided a fitting finale to a fantastic title-winning season.
