Liverpool has been declared the Premier League champions following an impressive 5-1 win against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday.
Arne Slot’s team only needed to earn a point to match Manchester United’s record of 20 league titles, but they exceeded expectations with contributions from Luis Díaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and an own goal by Destiny Udogie.
In his post-match comments to Sky Sports, captain Virgil van Dijk expressed his emotions by stating, “This is the most beautiful club in the world. We deserve this. I was eager to win it for the fans, for everyone around the globe, and for ourselves. We’re going to savor the upcoming weeks and soak it all in.”
Mohamed Salah’s goal marked the 185th of his Premier League career, making him the league’s all-time highest-scoring foreign player.
With Arsenal drawing 2-2 with Crystal Palace on Wednesday, they can no longer mathematically surpass Liverpool, even with four games remaining. Liverpool boasts a 15-point advantage over Arsenal and has only experienced two defeats in 34 league matches this season, highlighting a remarkable first campaign for Arne Slot, who took over from Jürgen Klopp last summer after joining from Feyenoord.
After the match concluded, Slot honored Klopp by leading the fans in a chant of his predecessor’s name, a gesture reminiscent of what Klopp did for him a year ago.
