Liverpool have been crowned champions for the second time in the Premier League - and a record-equalling 20th time in the top flight - with Arne Slot leading the club to glory in his first season in charge.

Sunday’s 5-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur means Liverpool moved out of reach of their nearest rivals in the table, Arsenal, with four matches still to play, becoming the seventh team to seal the title so early.

Liverpool's only other Premier League title win came in 2019/20 under Jurgen Klopp during the COVID-19 pandemic, when fans weren’t allowed to attend matches.

So not only was confirming the title in front of their fans special, but when they lift the Premier League Trophy later this season, it will be the first time in front of their supporters as well.

Fans had flooded the roads around Anfield ahead of Sunday's match and provided the team with a hero's welcome to the stadium.

Head coach Arne Slot said such a presence helped to motivate his men, even after Spurs' Dominic Solanke had temporarily punctured the party atmosphere with the opening goal in the 12th minute. 

“The way we arrived on the bus, everyone was thinking there is no way we were going to lose this game. Conceding first made it difficult, but they always find a way to win,” Slot said.

For Mohamed Salah, who took a selfie with the fans, after scoring to make it 4-1, securing the title on Sunday was twice as good as five years previously. 

"It is incredible to win this with our fans,” Salah told Sky Sports. “This is 100 per cent better than last time, especially with the fans. We have a different group now so to show we can do it again is something special."

A second Premier League title means Liverpool go fifth in the rankings for the number of titles outright, moving behind Arsenal’s total of three.

PL titles won by clubs

Significantly for Liverpool, because they won 18 top-flight titles before the Premier League started in 1992/93, they have now been crowned champions of England for the 20th time. That equals the record held by fierce rivals Manchester United, who last won the title in 2012/13.

Most English top-flight titles in history

A key figure in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign has been Salah.

The Egyptian leads the Premier League charts for the most goals and most assists in 2024/25, with 28 and 18 respectively. Those goals and assists account for 58 per cent of the team’s Premier League tally this season - 46 of 80.

Salah, who recently signed a new contract, could yet become only the second player to register 20+ goals and 20+ assists in the same season, after Thierry Henry achieved this with Arsenal in 2002/03.

And he also has his sights set on the record of 47 goal involvements in a Premier League set by Andrew Cole in 1993/94 and Alan Shearer a year later. 

“Goal involvements, for sure... hopefully I’m going to break it soon,” Salah said. “I know I broke the record for 38 games. Now one goal or one assist to go I think? I counted!”
