Liverpool

Liverpool have officially been crowned Premier League champions, clinching the title with four matches remaining after a commanding 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Under the leadership of Arne Slot, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp last May, the Reds have returned to the top of English football.

Sunday’s victory, combined with recent stumbles from Arsenal, confirmed Liverpool’s 20th league title — drawing them level with Manchester United’s historic record.

Despite initially trailing against Spurs, Liverpool quickly turned the tide, taking a 3-1 lead by halftime before securing a dominant win.

Their championship was also paved by a vital 1-0 triumph over Leicester City, a result that virtually relegated the Foxes.

Arsenal, managed by Mikel Arteta and Liverpool’s closest challengers, dropped crucial points with three straight draws this month, making it mathematically impossible to overtake Liverpool.

The Reds now boast the largest points gap at the summit since Manchester City’s 18-point lead in 2020.

Mohamed Salah, who recently extended his contract by two years, has been instrumental, leading the league with 27 goals and 18 assists.

Liverpool have suffered only two league defeats this season — a rare achievement last accomplished by Manchester City in 2017/18.

To preserve that record, Liverpool must avoid losses in their upcoming matches against Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, and Crystal Palace.
