Synopsis
Liverpool secured their 20th Premier League title with a resounding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. This win equals Manchester United's record and marks a new era under manager Arne Slot.
Liverpool have emerged as the 2024-25 Premier League champions following a dominant 5-1 over Tottenham Hotspur at the Anfield Stadium on Sunday, April 27. Arne Slot-led The Reds equalled Manchester United’s record of 20 titles in the history of the Premier League.
Liverpool have been leading the Premier League points table throughout the season thus far and they were just one point away from securing the title. Two consecutive wins over West Ham United and Leicester had brought Liverpool closer to clinching the prestigious domestic title and they finally clinched it in style with a dominant win over Tottenham Hotspur. It was the first Premier League title win for The Reds without Jurgen Klopp at the helm as the manager of the team.
Liverpool clinched the second title since the beginning of the Premier League in 1992, with the first coming under Jurgen Klopp in the 2019-20 season. After Manchester City’s dominance in the English top-flight league over the last five seasons, The Reds have finally broken through to reclaim their place at the summit, signalling a new era at Anfield under Arne Slott’s leadership.
Adding to the celebrations, Liverpool also renewed the contracts of star forward Mohamed Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk, giving loyal fans even more reason to rejoice.

Along with the video, Liverpool wrote, “Campione, campione olé olé olé”, which is a popular Italian chant often sung by players and fans to celebrate the championship.

Liverpool clinched their 20th Premier League title with four matches to spare. They are now 15 points clear of second-placed Arsenal.
