Premier League: Liverpool is crowned champion of England for the 2024/2025 season

History has repeated itself in the most spectacular fashion at Anfield, as Liverpool FC officially clinched the 2024/2025 Premier League title with a thundering 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Under the leadership of new manager Arne Slot, the Reds have once again ascended to the summit of English football, writing another golden chapter in their illustrious story.

From the very first whistle this season, Liverpool showed relentless determination and consistency. Their dominance was evident throughout the campaign, and it was only fitting that they sealed the title with a performance full of energy, passion, and ruthlessness.

Anfield was a cauldron of emotion on Sunday, April 27, 2025. Fans gathered in their thousands, draped in red, chanting, singing, and celebrating long before kick-off. The anticipation was electric, and the players responded by delivering a performance worthy of champions.

Despite an early scare when Dominic Solanke put Tottenham ahead in the 12th minute, Liverpool’s response was immediate and emphatic. Luis Díaz, celebrating his 100th Premier League appearance for the club, leveled the scores just six minutes later. Initially disallowed for a possible offside, VAR intervened to award the goal — triggering a deafening roar from the Anfield faithful.

Moments later, Alexis Mac Allister continued his brilliant season by firing Liverpool into the lead with a stunning strike from the edge of the area. The Argentine midfielder’s goal in the 24th minute sent the stadium into raptures, setting the tone for what was to come.

Before Spurs could recover, Cody Gakpo extended Liverpool’s lead to 3-1 in the 34th minute, rising highest to head home from a well-delivered corner. By halftime, it was clear the Premier League crown was heading back to Merseyside.

The second half was pure celebration. Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s talismanic forward, added a fourth goal in the 63rd minute — his 28th of the league campaign — showcasing his lethal finishing once again. Salah’s goal underlined his importance to Liverpool’s new era under Slot, further cementing his legendary status at the club.

Tottenham’s misery was compounded when Destiny Udogie inadvertently turned the ball into his own net in the 70th minute, making it 5-1. Spurs, who have struggled throughout a difficult season, had no answers to Liverpool’s relentless pressing and vibrant attack.

As the final whistle approached, the celebrations grew louder. Fans were in full voice, the players exchanged smiles and embraces, and Anfield itself seemed to shake with joy. It was more than just a win — it was a statement of supremacy.

For Arne Slot, this title is a monumental achievement. The Dutch manager becomes only the sixth coach to win the Premier League in his debut season, joining an exclusive club of tactical masterminds. His calm leadership, tactical flexibility, and ability to rejuvenate a talented squad have been praised across England.

Liverpool’s triumph is even sweeter considering the context. This marks their 20th English top-flight title, allowing them to draw level with Manchester United for the most league titles in history. It’s a symbolic victory as much as a sporting one, reigniting one of the fiercest rivalries in English football.

Five years after their last title — a season marked by the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic — Liverpool have returned to the summit in a style that left no doubts. Their 82 points, amassed through thrilling attacking football and resolute defending, made them unstoppable.

The scenes outside Anfield before, during, and after the match were unforgettable. A sea of red-clad supporters escorted the team bus to the stadium amid a thunder of flares, chants, and fireworks. This time, unlike in 2020, the celebrations will truly be shared on the pitch with their loyal fans.

Slot’s Liverpool combined youth and experience to great effect, with stars like Díaz, Mac Allister, Gakpo, and Salah shining brightly. Even players like Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Alisson Becker delivered crucial contributions throughout the campaign, ensuring Liverpool remained resilient during tough moments.

Tottenham, on the other hand, will look back on the season with regret. Eighteen losses highlight a campaign riddled with inconsistency and missed opportunities. For Spurs, a significant summer rebuild appears inevitable.

For Liverpool, though, the future is blindingly bright. With a new manager, a rejuvenated squad, and a 20th league title secured, the Reds are once again the pride of English football. Anfield will party long into the night — and rightfully so.

As the trophies are polished and the banners unfurled, Liverpool fans can proudly say: their club, their passion, their pride — is back at the very top where it belongs.
