Liverpool FC crowned Premier League champions after 5-1 win over Tottenham

Liverpool have been crowned champions for the second time in the Premier League and a record-equalling 20th time in the top flight, with Dutch manager Arne Slot leading the club to glory in his first season in charge.

Sunday’s 5-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield means Liverpool moved out of reach of their nearest rivals in the table, Arsenal, with four matches still to play.

Liverpool’s only other Premier League title win came in 2019/20 under Jurgen Klopp during the COVID-19 pandemic, when fans weren’t allowed to attend matches.

A second Premier League title means Liverpool go fifth in the rankings for the number of titles outright, moving behind Arsenal’s total of three.

The League win is significant for Liverpool, because they won 18 top-flight titles before the Premier League started in 1992/93, they have now been crowned champions of England for the 20th time.

That equals the record held by fierce rivals Manchester United, who last won the title in 2012/13.
