Liverpool Clinch Premier League Equal Manchester United’s Record with 20 Titles
Liverpool have been crowned Premier League champions following a dominant 5-1 victory over Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday. Arne Slot’s side needed just a point to secure the title and equal Manchester United’s record of 20 top-flight crowns. Goals from Luis DÃaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Mohamed Salah, along with a Destiny Udogie own goal, sealed the emphatic win. “This is the most beautiful club in the world. We deserve this,” captain Virgil van Dijk told Sky Sports after the match. “We are going to enjoy the next couple of weeks and take it all in. I was desperate to win it for the fans, for the supporters around the world, and for ourselves.” Salah’s strike marked his 185th Premier League goal, making him the highest-scoring foreign player in the league’s history. With Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace on Wednesday, the Gunners can no longer mathematically catch Liverpool, even with four games remaining. Liverpool now hold a 15-point advantage, having lost just twice in 34 matches this season. It caps a spectacular debut campaign for Arne Slot, who arrived from Feyenoord last summer to succeed Jürgen Klopp. Slot reflected on the team’s resilience and determination:“It was clear we couldn’t lose this game. Everyone on the bus said, ‘There’s no way we’re losing.’ They always find a way to win. I’m incredibly proud — not just of the players, but the entire staff and management. They deserve a big round of applause.” Slot also emphasized the scale of the achievement:“Let’s forget it’s only the second title in 35 years — it’s two titles in five years.” Liverpool’s triumph adds another glorious chapter to the club’s storied history, reaffirming their place among English football’s elite.
