Liverpool came from behind to see off Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 on Sunday, April 27, to win the 2024-25 Premier League title. It marks their second in the Premier League era and 20th league crown overall.
Luis Diaz (16'), Alexis Mac Allister (24'), Cody Gakpo (34'), Mohamed Salah (63'), and an own goal from Destiny Udogie (69') got the job done for the Reds, who had fallen behind to a Dominic Solanke goal after 12 minutes.
Arne Slot's side came into the game needing a point to seal the title and turned up for the occasion after a slow start, dragging their beleaguered visitors through the mud with a menacing attacking display.
Liverpool, the champions of Premier League again! Here are the player ratings:
He couldn't keep out Solanke's effort but wasn't tested thereafter as Spurs were on the backfoot for most of the match.
Not the best outing for Liverpool's marauding right-back, who was outshined by better players around him. But either way, the title is in the bag and he wouldn't care.
With five clearances, Ibrahima Konate displayed great vision while also making one interception. He communicated well with Van Dijk and ensured everything was kosher at the back.

Liverpool's coronation match and Mohamed Salah scoring? Of course! The Egyptian took some time to get going, but the inevitable happened in the 63rd minute.

Gakpo put the game beyond Spurs by netting Liverpool's third of the evening in the 34th minute, firing an incredible shot after sidestepping Dominic Solanke.
