Andy Hunter is at Anfield and this is his red-hot take on the match itself. Spurs actually gave Liverpool a brief scare by scoring first, but it was all one-way traffic after that. The report is below!
“It’s special – it’s something we don’t take for granted,” the title-winning captain, Virgil van Dijk, tells Sky. “A lot of emotions before the game, but we got the job done – we are deserved champions … This is the most beautiful club in the world. Let’s enjoy all of this over the next few weeks and let it sink in.”
You’ll Never Walk Alone rings out from the Kop, the Liverpool players link arms with Arne Slot and his coaching staff, facing their supporters. It’s a spine-tingling moment at any time but this is extra special.

The Liverpool players are dancing in front of a flare-strewn Kop. Mo Salah – as he did when celebrating the fourth goal against Spurs – is taking the odd lucky fan’s phone and grabbing some precious selfies, grinning in front of a horde of LFC faithful.
Alisson cries “vamos!” as he embraces Mohamed Salah. Two of the, by my calculations, magnificent seven players in this side who are winning their second league title with Liverpool – alongside Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Congrats, gents.
Liverpool have sealed their 20th league title by winning 5-1 against Tottenham at Anfield. They’ve bossed it, capturing the trophy in late April with four games left to play, joining Manchester United as the English club with the most top-tier titles.
Arne Slot has come in to fill Jürgen Klopp’s big, clown-sized shoes and made it look relatively straightforward, cruising to Premier League supremacy in his first season (play the game, Arne, this is supposed to be difficult).
If Liverpool’s title under Klopp was the most cathartic, ending that 30-year wait, this feels more breezily joyous. In 2019-20, the league was mathematically sealed during lockdown and via a Manchester City defeat by Chelsea. In 2024-25, it is picture perfect for Reds’ fans: rubber-stamped with a resounding victory at a full, loud and sunny Anfield.
The players are on the pitch and they look overjoyed. Stick with us for all the reaction and Liverpool’s title celebrations.
