Anfield’s Roar Crowns Liverpool Kings of EnglandIn a match dripping with drama, delirium, and a dash of destiny, Liverpool sealed their 20th English top-flight title with a thunderous 5-1 demolition of Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds, needing just a point to clinch glory, instead delivered a masterclass, rewriting history and igniting a party five years in the makingAnfield’s Roar Crowns Liverpool Kings of England.
Tottenham stunned Anfield early when ex-Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke nodded home James Maddison’s corner (12’), briefly silencing the Kop.
But the panic lasted just four minutes. Luis Díaz, celebrating his 100th Premier League appearance, tapped in Dominik Szoboszlai’s cross after a VAR overturn, sending relief cascading through the stands.
The floodgates burst open next. Alexis Mac Allister, the midfield metronome, unleashed a rocket from 25 yards, his left-footed missile soaring past Guglielmo Vicario.
Cody Gakpo then slammed home a third, capitalizing on Spurs’ defensive chaos to put the game—and the title—beyond doubt before halftime.
Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian king, etched his name deeper into folklore with a low drive, snapping a selfie with a fan mid-celebration—a moment as iconic as the goal itself.
The humiliation was sealed when Destiny Udogie deflected a cross into his own net, capping a “Anfield Invincibles” performance.
Arne Slot, the Dutch tactician, became the fifth manager to win the Premier League in his debut season—and the first to do it with a karaoke tribute to his predecessor. “I’m 99.9% sure Jurgen [Klopp] has already texted me,” Slot grinned, crediting Klopp’s legacy for laying the foundation.
His blend of high-pressing intensity and tactical flexibility has reinvigorated a squad transitioning from the Klopp era, with Virgil van Dijk calling the title “the most beautiful moment” for fans deprived of a proper celebration in 2020.
For Tottenham, the defeat epitomized a dismal campaign. Sitting 16th with 19 losses, their Europa League semi-final hopes now hang by a thread.
Ange Postecoglou’s rotated side offered fleeting resistance, but defensive errors and Bergvall’s controversial escape from a second yellow card summed up their misery.
Liverpool’s title parade on May 26 promises to drown the city in red, a cathartic release after their pandemic-hollowed 2020 triumph.
For Spurs, a summer rebuild looms. But on this day, Anfield’s chorus of “Allez Allez Allez” drowned out all doubts—Liverpool are back atop England, and the Slot era has only just begun.
