Liverpool have secured their second Premier League title, coming from behind to thrash Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday.
Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke gave the visitors an early lead with a header, but Liverpool quickly turned the tide in the first half with goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo. Mohamed Salah then added his 27th Premier League goal of the season in the second half, before Destiny Udogie’s own goal sealed the victory and the title for Liverpool on a sunlit Merseyside afternoon.
Anfield was alive with anticipation ahead of the match, as Liverpool knew that just a single point was required to secure the crown, thanks to recent slip-ups from title challengers Arsenal. Fans gathered in the streets with scarves, banners, and red-smoke flares, creating an electric atmosphere as the team bus arrived. Thousands of supporters, many without tickets, joined in the celebration, eager to be part of the moment.

The iconic ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ echoed around Anfield as the players prepared for the match, with many looking forward to experiencing a Premier League title win in person—something that was missing from the club’s previous triumph under Jurgen Klopp, which was celebrated behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tottenham took an early lead when Solanke powered a header past Alisson from James Maddison’s corner, but Liverpool responded almost immediately. After an initial offside flag against Dominik Szoboszlai, the new semi-automated offside technology ruled that Szoboszlai was onside, and his pass to Diaz allowed the Colombian to equalize.
Tottenham’s misfortune continued as Mathys Tel played a poor pass across his own penalty area, allowing Ryan Gravenberch to intercept and lay the ball to Mac Allister. The Argentine, quick to react, rifled a shot into the top corner, putting Liverpool ahead. The home side was now fully in control.
Gakpo added a third after more sloppy defending from Spurs, finishing with precision following a well-timed assist. Salah then put the game beyond doubt, finishing off a lightning-fast counter-attack initiated by Szoboszlai. Udogie’s own goal followed shortly after, as he inadvertently turned the ball into his own net while trying to prevent Salah from scoring again.
Liverpool’s emphatic win sealed their second Premier League title in style, with fans and players alike celebrating a historic moment in the club’s storied history.
