Liverpool have been officially crowned Premier League champions, drawing level with Manchester United’s historic record of 20 top-flight titles. The Reds sealed the trophy in emphatic fashion, thrashing Tottenham 5-1 at a jubilant Anfield.
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have been unstoppable. In his first season in English football, the Dutchman led the team to glory, losing just two of their 34 league matches and bringing an end to Manchester City’s remarkable four-year dominance.
When Jurgen Klopp bid farewell to Anfield last year, few believed Liverpool could mount a serious title challenge so soon. Yet Slot, defying all expectations, has not only stabilized the team but elevated it—matching Klopp’s Premier League title tally in his debut campaign.
At 46 years old, Slot becomes the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League and joins an elite group—alongside Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini, and Antonio Conte—as managers who have lifted the title in their first season.
Liverpool’s march to the title was made somewhat easier by stumbles from their closest rivals. Manchester City struggled to maintain their usual standards, while Arsenal’s season was marred by key injuries, setting them up for a third consecutive runner-up finish.
Fans won’t have to wait long to celebrate properly. Liverpool will lift the Premier League trophy at Anfield after their final home match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, May 25—marking the first time supporters will witness a top-flight trophy presentation in person since 1990.
The Reds’ previous league triumph came during the pandemic-affected 2019/20 season, when Klopp’s side racked up 99 points and ended a 30-year wait for a Premier League title. This time, though, Anfield will be packed and roaring, ready to give their champions the celebration they deserve.
