Crank up the volume: How Liverpool fans at Anfield reacted upon hearing full-time Arsenal result

Liverpool fans have always been known for their passionate support, but the noise levels at Anfield reached new heights on this unforgettable night. While the Reds were in action against Newcastle, a result elsewhere sent shockwaves through the stadium, setting off wild celebrations among the home supporters.

The timing of Liverpool’s fixture meant that by the time the second half kicked off at Anfield, Arsenal had already played their full 90 minutes at the City Ground. The moment the final whistle was blown in Nottingham, word quickly spread among the crowd, culminating in a deafening cheer that reverberated across the famous stadium.

How Liverpool fans reacted to Arsenal’s slip-up

Journalist Lewis Steele was among those who noticed the immediate reaction of the Anfield faithful. Taking to X, he described the scene: “The Kop breaks out in a chorus of ‘Liverpool top the league’ as the full-time score at Nottingham Forest seemingly filters around. They will be 13 clear if they hold on here.”

Meanwhile, Sky Sports reporter Adam Bate also captured the moment, stating, “Perhaps news of the goalless draw at Forest has filtered through. The Kop suddenly bellow chants about being top of the league. And now, ‘We shall not be moved…’” The significance of the result was not lost on anyone inside the stadium.

For weeks, Arsenal had been Liverpool’s closest challengers in the Premier League title race. Just last weekend, the Gunners had the opportunity to narrow the gap and ramp up the pressure. Instead, their inability to break through Nottingham Forest’s defense may have sealed their fate.

Liverpool’s relentless march towards a historic title

The events at Anfield were about more than just one result. They symbolized Liverpool’s growing belief that their 20th league title is within reach. After enduring a few nervy performances earlier in the season, this was the moment when Reds supporters started to truly believe that the Premier League trophy could soon be theirs again.

It’s remarkable how quickly the narrative has shifted. Just a week ago, Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa had given Arsenal renewed hope. Yet within days, the Gunners’ failure to capitalize has left them staring at an uphill battle, one that may now be impossible to overcome.

Even if Arsenal win their game in hand against Chelsea next month, they will still be relying on Liverpool to suffer multiple setbacks. With only ten matches remaining, it would take an extraordinary collapse from Arne Slot’s men for them to let this lead slip.

A defining moment in the title race

Anfield’s reaction to Arsenal’s result was not just about joy—it was about confidence. Chants of “We shall not be moved” rang out from the stands, as supporters declared their belief that nothing will stop their team from lifting the title in May.

It was a chant that had also echoed from the away end at the Etihad Stadium just days earlier, following Liverpool’s crucial 2-0 victory over Manchester City. The back-to-back blows dealt to their two biggest rivals in the space of a week have only strengthened Liverpool’s position at the top.

Veteran leaders like Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, and Andy Robertson are ensuring that the squad remains focused on the job at hand. While the fans may already be celebrating, the players know they must keep their intensity high until the title is mathematically secured.

Liverpool fans dare to dream

Liverpool supporters have endured enough heartbreak in past title races to remain cautious. Memories of 2014, when Steven Gerrard’s infamous slip cost them the crown, or 2019, when they fell just one point short despite a near-flawless campaign, are still fresh.

But this time feels different. The sheer dominance of Arne Slot’s side, coupled with the inconsistency of their rivals, suggests that this could finally be their year. Even the most skeptical of supporters must now be allowing themselves to believe.

For opposition fans, the sight of Liverpool storming toward the title may be frustrating, but for Reds supporters, it is nothing short of euphoric. The prospect of equaling Manchester United’s record of 20 league titles is now more than just a dream—it is an expectation.

With every passing game, the finish line comes closer into view. The Anfield faithful will continue to sing, celebrate, and rally behind their team, knowing that they are witnessing a historic season unfold before their eyes.

If there was ever a night that symbolized the growing inevitability of Liverpool’s triumph, it was this one. The celebrations at Anfield, the sheer electricity in the air, and the undeniable belief among the fans—it all pointed to one thing. This is Liverpool’s season, and nothing is going to stop them now.
