Liverpool are champions of England once again, securing their second Premier League title in six years. Arne Slot’s men sealed the 2024/2025 Premier League, hammering Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at a jubilant Anfield to clinch the crown with four matches still left to play.
Heading into Matchday 34, Liverpool needed just a single point to confirm what had long felt inevitable. Instead, they delivered a performance worthy of champions: ruthless, relentless, unforgettable. Mohamed Salah orchestrated the demolition job, while Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk marshaled a Liverpool side that looked unstoppable from the first whistle.
Tottenham, chasing a Champions League spot, barely laid a glove on the rampant Reds. Son Heung-min and James Maddison offered flickers of resistance, but it was nowhere near enough. Slot’s blueprint, featuring aggressive pressing, vertical attacks, and supreme organization, overwhelmed Ange Postecoglou’s side, just as it has overwhelmed almost everyone all season.
Anfield exploded into life with every Liverpool goal, knowing history was unfolding before their eyes. Salah’s opener sent the crowd into a frenzy, and by the time Darwin Núñez netted Liverpool’s fifth, the celebrations had already begun. The Kop, so often a wall of noise, became a wave of red ecstasy.
Earlier in the week, Arsenal’s faint hopes of prolonging the title race had vanished after a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. Mikel Arteta’s side, so promising at times this season, faltered when it mattered most. Bukayo Saka dazzled in spells, Declan Rice fought to wrestle control of midfield, but Arsenal’s inconsistency proved fatal to their ambitions.
Liverpool’s dominance this season has been total. They are unmatched in goals scored and defensive solidity. Arsenal, for all their fluidity, dropped crucial points against top-half teams. Manchester City, undermined by injuries and defensive issues, never found the gear needed to mount a serious challenge.
Slot’s Liverpool were different. They were machine-like when needed and flamboyant when allowed. They crushed teams early, and when they did not, they ground out wins with a grit that champions are made of. From the clinical 1-0 at Leicester to the emotional rollercoaster of a 3-2 comeback at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool adapted to every challenge.
The title was secured at Anfield, fittingly. Liverpool’s home fortress has been impenetrable this season, extending their unbeaten home record against Tottenham to 16 matches. Memories of the frantic 4-3 win over Spurs in 2023 remain fresh, but today’s 5-1 statement felt like a passing of eras. Liverpool, reborn under Slot, commanded the league once more.
Meanwhile, the race for the remaining Champions League spots rages on. Chelsea edged Everton 1-0 thanks to a Nicolas Jackson strike, while Newcastle dismantled Ipswich 3-0 to keep their European hopes alive. Manchester City cling onto third, but their title defense was over weeks ago.
Liverpool’s coronation, four games early, underlines just how comprehensive their triumph has been. The scenes at Anfield, with red smoke, deafening songs, and players embraced by their families, captured a club once again at the summit.
With four matches still left on the calendar, Liverpool can now chase history: the record points tally, individual awards, and an unbeaten finish at home.
For now, one thing is already beyond doubt.
Liverpool are the kings of England once more.
