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, 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 and with their supporters in attendance.
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.
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.
