Liverpool celebrate Premier League title win with iconic You’ll Never Walk Alone anthem

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.”

How Arne Slot reinvented Liverpool to become champions without a single major signing

After Jurgen Klopp had dropped his bombshell, when Liverpool were assessing the contenders to replace him, several aspects of Arne Slot’s record counted in his favour.

There was the reputation for over-performing, for exceeding his targets. The Feyenoord head coach had won a historic club just their second league title of the 21st century.

Slot was not initially the favourite – externally, anyway – for the Liverpool job. Nor were Liverpool the favourites to become champions after his appointment. Just their second league title of the 21st century has followed after he overperformed again; the club set him the objective of qualifying for the Champions League.
