Liverpool Win 20th Title in Dominant Fashion

Liverpool clinched their 20th English league title with a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield, matching Manchester United's record and celebrating with fans in the stadium for the first time in 35 years. Under new manager Arne Slot, the first Dutchman and only the fifth manager to win the Premier League in his debut season, Liverpool secured the title with four games to spare and a 15-point lead over Arsenal. Liverpool overcame an early Spurs goal with contributions from Luis Díaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and an own goal by Destiny Udogie. Slot achieved this feat despite modest pre-season title odds and minimal changes to the squad, notably maximizing Salah's prolific scoring form. The celebrations were especially significant after fans missed out on the 2020 title due to pandemic restrictions. Tottenham's heavy defeat has increased pressure on their manager Ange Postecoglou.
