Liverpool win Premier League LIVE: Trophy parade details revealed after 20th title triumph
Arne Slot led the team to the top-flight title in his first year at Anfield as Liverpool won the Premier League for a second time in five years
Liverpool won the Premier League for the second time in five years, and a 20th top-flight title overall, when they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The celebrations began as Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah all scored for the Reds who secured the trophy before the end of April and brought manager Arne Slot his first piece of silverware at Anfield.
Slot took over as boss in the summer following the shock departure of Jurgen Klopp last year but he manoeuvred the team that the German had rebuilt and forged them into repeat Premier League champions. Liverpool have an unassailable 82 points with four matches to play and have swept their competition aside with seeming ease this year.
“It is incredible to win this with our fans,” Mo Salah said after victory was confirmed. “This is 100% better than last time [in 2020], especially with the fans. We have a different group now so to show we can do it again is something special.”

Five years on from the 'Covid title', Liverpool do their Premier League triumph right
Five years ago, Liverpool ended their 30-year wait to win a Premier League title. However, they won it in front of no-one.
It never felt quite right - the moment didn’t do the decades of struggle and their remarkable rejuvenation justice.
But yesterday, Liverpool finally got the title they had dreamed of. Celebrated with their own fans in front of a packed-out Anfield, it was perfection.
Trent Alexander-Arnold transfer saga takes new twist with Cody Gakpo comments
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future may not be completely decided after Cody Gakpo dropped a major hint on his ongoing transfer saga during Liverpool’s wild Premier League title celebrations.
“Now with Mo [Salah] and Virgil [Van Dijk] staying, and hopefully Trent as well, they can keep building,” Gakpo said.
A slither of hope for Reds fans?

The two simple statistics that prove Liverpool’s title win is simply not about ‘luck’
If Liverpool can finally be called English champions again, you can’t really repeat the old line that they’re back on their perch.
They’re now on a pedestal. They can look down on the rest of the Premier League from high above, finally free to celebrate amid the certainty of victory.
There is also an even better view from that vantage point, that has been surprisingly underplayed in this long run to the title.
This is Liverpool’s 20th, matching the record of their great rivals Manchester United.

'Nothing compares' to celebrating with fans says Robertson
Andy Robertson echoed Mo Salah’s thoughts that this Premier League title win was better than Liverpool’s triumph in 2020 because they experienced it with their fans.
"The last time we won it was a stranger time, but I suppose we kind of got that feeling against Manchester United at home. It [wasn’t] quite clinching it and then obviously the world paused," he said.
"We enjoyed it, of course we did, but you can't beat what we experienced today and how we went to the ground and the fans during and after the game.
“Nothing quite compares to that and I'm glad we got to experience it that way as well."

Mo Salah's Liverpool selfie
When he scored for Liverpool yesterday, Mohamed Salah celebrated by grabbing a phone from the crowd and taking a selfie with the fans.
It was his own phone that he had given to one of the pitchside photographers and he posted the final picture to social media.

Will Liverpool receive a guard of honour?
Liverpool have won their second Premier League title after picking up the point they needed with their win against Tottenham on Sunday.
With four Premier League games to go, Arne Slot’s men now have an unassailable lead at the top of the table.
Will Liverpool receive a guard of honour – and is it compulsory for Arsenal?
'Liverpool are worthy champions'
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou paid respect to Liverpool following his team’s defeat on Sunday and claimed that Arne Slot’s men are ‘worthy champions’
He said: “Credit to Liverpool. They’re worthy champions and they’ve been the outstanding team all year, consistent.
“I thought we started the game well and made things difficult for them but once they got in front, with the atmosphere in the stadium, it’s fair to say it was going to be difficult for us to claw them back, and that’s how it proved.”
'An amazing Premier League season'
Liverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk praised his team’s consistency throughout the season when celebrating yesterday.
The Dutch defender said: “It’s been an amazing Premier League season for us – very consistent, well-deserved winners.
“The reaction that we showed after going 1–0 down was outstanding.
“The time went very slowly towards the end but I’m glad we got the job done.”
