Reds Match Man Utd’s Record 20 Titles as Slot Makes Dutch History in Debut Season
Liverpool sealed their 20th league title in emphatic fashion, overwhelming Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at a jubilant Anfield to cap off a sensational Premier League campaign. The victory not only matched Manchester United’s long-standing record but also confirmed Arne Slot as the first Dutch manager to win the competition—doing so in his very first season at the helm.
Despite a brief scare when former Red Dominic Solanke silenced the home crowd with a towering header after just 12 minutes, Liverpool responded with ruthless efficiency. Luis Díaz leveled four minutes later, initially ruled offside before VAR delivered justice, sparking wild celebrations. From there, the floodgates opened—Alexis Mac Allister’s thunderous strike put the hosts ahead, Cody Gakpo extended the lead, and Mohamed Salah added a trademark finish before an own goal from Destiny Udogie completed the rout.
The atmosphere inside Anfield was electric, a stark contrast to the pandemic-hit 2020 title win when fans were locked out. This time, the stands roared with every goal, culminating in a deafening eruption at full-time as players and supporters savored the moment together. Salah, who took a celebratory selfie with the crowd after his 28th goal of the season, now sits fifth in the Premier League’s all-time scoring charts.
For Slot, the achievement was both historic and humbling. “To do this in my first year, with this incredible club and these fans, is something I’ll never forget,” he said post-match. “But the credit goes to the players—they’ve been relentless all season.”
With the title secured, Liverpool’s focus now shifts to lifting the trophy after their final game against Crystal Palace. For Spurs, the misery continues as they regroup for Thursday’s Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt—but on this day, Anfield belonged to the champions.
