Liverpool FC have emerged EPL champions for a record 20th time.
With this win, Arne Slot ends four seasons of Manchester City dominance in the Premier League in his first season at Anfield. The Reds secured the title with four games to spare after a home win against Spurs. Mohammed Salah had his name on the score sheet as the Reds clinched the title in style at a jubilant Anfield with a thumping 5-1 win over Tottenham.
Liverpool stepped out of the blocks early, losing just twice in 34 games to win the league and end Manchester City’s unprecedented four-year grip on the title.
Not many pundits backed Liverpool to compete for top spot after Jurgen Klopp’s departure a year ago, but Slot has defied all expectations and already matched his predecessor’s league-title haul.
The 46-year-old is the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League and the fifth man to do so in their debut campaign after Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini and Antonio Conte.
