In the second half, it took until the 63rd minute for Mohamed Salah to make it 4-1 before a fifth followed.

The Reds have won the title in manager Arne Slot's first season in charge, and move level with fierce rivals Manchester United on 20 League championships.

But it makes them arguably the most successful English club ever as they have won more European Cup or Champions League titles.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk told Sky Sports after the final whistle: "It's special and it's something that we don't take for granted. It's amazing.

"A lot of emotions before the game, during the whole week, but we got the job done and we [are] truly deserved champions of England. [Liverpool is] the most beautiful club in the world and I think we deserve all of this. Let's enjoy the next couple of weeks and let it sink in."

Slot wins title in debut season

Slot took over as manager last summer from Jurgen Klopp, who guided them to their previous and maiden Premier League title triumph in 2020, when the COVID-19 lockdown saw matches played behind closed doors.

He is the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League and the fifth man to do so in a debut campaign after Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini, and Antonio Conte.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game he said his side "did an outstanding job".

Asked about Spurs' early lead, he added: "It wasn't ideal but it didn't take me a long time to trust these players, they always come back, they always find a way to win."

On how he made winning the title "so easy", he said: "That's not only my job, it's the job of the players and the staff members standing over there and the work Jurgen [Klopp] and Pepijn [Lijnders] left behind over here.

"The culture of the team, the work rate, the quality was outstanding. We all knew that."

Several players, including Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah, played leading roles in both the 2025 and 2020 campaigns.

Van Dijk and Salah recently signed new contracts extending their careers at the club.

Speaking to Sky Sports News after the game, Salah said: "To win the Premier League with the fans is something special. You saw it in every game.

"This is way better [than five years ago]. 100%. We have a different group now, a different manager so we're able to show we can do it again and it's special."

Liverpool will have to wait until the final game of the season - at home to Crystal Palace on 25 May - to be presented with the Premier League trophy.

It will be the first time the club's fans will have seen their side lift the top-flight title in person since 1990.
