Liverpool won the Premier League for the second time in five years, and a 20th top-flight title overall, when they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The celebrations began as Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah all scored for the Reds who secured the trophy before the end of April and brought manager Arne Slot his first piece of silverware at Anfield.
Slot took over as boss in the summer following the shock departure of Jurgen Klopp last year but he manoeuvred the team that the German had rebuilt and forged them into repeat Premier League champions. Liverpool have an unassailable 82 points with four matches to play and have swept their competition aside with seeming ease this year.
“It is incredible to win this with our fans,” Mo Salah said after victory was confirmed. “This is 100% better than last time [in 2020], especially with the fans. We have a different group now so to show we can do it again is something special.”

Trophy parade CONFIRMED!
13:01 , Will CastleBig news, Reds!
Liverpool have confirmed their trophy parade will take place on Monday 26 May, as expected, after the final day of the season.
It will begin at 2:30pm BST and follow a 15km route, starting at Allerton Maze and winding through the city to the waterfront.
The end of the Wolves curse
15:45 , Will CastleLiverpool fans had cause for optimism at the start of the season when they saw, for once, they weren’t hosting Wolves on the final day of the season.
Since 2018/19, the Reds have welcomed Wolves to Anfield on Premier League D-day three times - and each time, it has coincided with the demise of their title push for that campaign.
In 2019, they beat Wolves 2-0 to take their tally to an eye-watering 97 points. But, infamously, it wasn’t enough as Man City did the business in Brighton to finish on 99.
Then, in 2022, Wolves came to play again. Liverpool started the day a point off City, but looked like they would have a chance to pip them to the crown when Villa went 2-0 up at the Etihad. This time, however, Wolves were proving harder to break down. They went ahead in the third minute before Sadio Mane equalised, and it would take until the 84th minute for Liverpool to complete their comeback and take the lead through Mo Salah. But by this time, City had staged a recovery of their own and let 3-2 over Steven Gerrard’s Villa. Heartbreak.
And last season - while Liverpool’s title hopes didn’t exactly die on the final day - they finished a season defined by a failed title push at home to, you guessed it, Wolves. It was Jurgen Klopp’s farewell more than anything, but lest we forget the Reds were on course for the title no more than a few weeks before. How perfect that would’ve been...
The moment it was wrapped up?
15:30 , Will CastleThere were a lot of important wins during Liverpool’s season that led them to clinching the title in such comfortable fashion. The dramatic 2-0 at Brentford, the early-season 3-0 at Old Trafford, the comeback 3-2 at serial strugglers Southampton.
But it was away to Manchester City where fans truly started to believe they were on course number 20. It’s when I booked leave for the final day!
Never had a trip to the Etihad been so easy, dispatching Pep Guardiola’s side 2-0 through two first-half goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai.
It took them 11 points clear of chasing Arsenal, who were savaged by an attacking injury crisis and never looked like making up the deficit.
Trophy parade route
15:15 , Will CastleWith the trophy parade confirmed, here is path Liverpool’s open-top bus will follow as fans line the streets.
The same route as the 2019 and 2022 parades, the bus will start at Allerton Maze in the city’s south. It will then head north on Queens Drive towards the Fiveways roundabout in Childwall before turning onto the Rocket flyover.
From there, it will journey along Mill Bank and West Derby Road, past Newsham Park, before wiggling through Islington and onto Leeds Street.
It will then hit The Strand and finish on the waterfront in Wapping, where thousands upon thousands of fans will gather.
Will Liverpool get a guard of honour?
15:00 , Will CastleLiverpool are officially Premier League champions - and precedent tells us they’ll receive a guard of honour in their next game, as they travel to Chelsea.
There’s nothing in the rulebook that enforces a guard of honour, but clubs often partake in one as a sign of respect to the league winners.
Liverpool infamously received a guard of honour from long-time title rivals Manchester City when they won the league in 2020, which occurred in front of no fans.
Mo Salah chasing another record
14:41 , Will CastleMohamed Salah’s strike against Spurs took him to 28 goals this season - and when you add his 18 assists, it takes him to 46 goal contributions across the campaign.
Only Alan Shearer and Andy Cole recorded more in a single Premier League season - both notching 47 - but those were both during 42-game seasons.
Salah has four games to beat the record - and it’s fully expected he will.
Liverpool know how to do a trophy parade
14:10 , Will CastleLiverpool might have missed out on a trophy parade for their Premier League title in, but they staged two open-top bus spectacles during the Jurgen Klopp era.
They memorably celebrated their 2019 Champions League triumph in front of an estimated 750,000 supporters in the city, but it was their parade in 2022 that was truly remarkable.
Despite having narrowly missed out on another Champions League title the night before, fans came out in their hundreds of thousands to cheer on the players upon their return from Paris, choosing to wildly celebrate their League Cup and FA Cup double rather than wallow in the sadness inflicted by Real Madrid.
Sublime support.
Liverpool's remaining fixtures
13:55 , Luke BakerThey may have wrapped up the title but there are still four matches left for Liverpool in this Premier League season.
They are:
- 04 May: Chelsea (a)
- 11 May: Arsenal (h)
- 19 May: Brighton (a)
- 25 May: Crystal Palace (h)
When will Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy and will there be a parade?
13:38 , Luke BakerAfter confirmation of the trophy parade, here’s everything you need to know about when Liverpool will lift the trophy and the parade itself.
When will Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy and will there be a parade?
Will Jurgen Klopp be at the parade?
13:17 , Will CastleOfficially, there has been no word yet from Liverpool that Klopp will be at Anfield when they lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday May 25, or the subsequent parade the day after.
But it seems very much possible.
Klopp, 57, will return to the city two days prior, as a guest speaker at the LFC Foundation’s annual Gala Ball on Friday 23 May. The German is an honorary ambassador for the club’s official charity.
He will attend the black tie event at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral, with the prospect of him staying in the city over the weekend for the title celebrations a possibility.
Liverpool to finally get their Premier League parade
13:14 , Will CastleLiverpool fans were told in 2020 that they would, at some point, get to celebrate ending their 30-year wait for a Premier League title with their players in the streets of the city.
Five years on, they will do just that - just with another league trophy under their belt.
When will the parade be?
12:49 , Kieran JacksonWhile details have yet to be confirmed, a trophy parade in the city is likely to follow the final game of the season. Liverpool memorably celebrated their 2019 Champions League triumph in front of an estimated 750,000 supporters in the city, with the parade winding through the city and ending at the waterfront.
Liverpool were unable to have a parade in 2020 due to Covid restrictions, but there was a bus parade in 2022 after winning the FA Cup and League Cup, although the Reds narrowly missed out on the Premier League and Champions League that season.
The day after the final game of the season, Monday 26 May, is a bank holiday and would therefore be an ideal time to hold a trophy parade, but the club are yet to confirm any details.
Inside the red mist: How Liverpool fans celebrated a title triumph 35 years in the making
12:32 , Kieran JacksonUntil this moment, the end-of-season recurrence in Liverpool had come with an added jeopardy over the past decade. The pageant of the team bus crawling down Anfield Road ahead of their final home game, emerging gradually from the red mist, arrived alongside the war cry of thousands, scaling the trees and scaffolding to the side. The smell of pure sulphur, flares forming the richest of scarlet red air, came with an added whiff of worry. Fans congregating in the city drank lager and Guinness, stimulated perhaps more in hope than expectation.
Yet on this spring Sunday in 2025? Something new.
This time, there was no angst. No final-day jangling of nerves. No chaos or confusion on the terraces. The old-school radios and earphones were left in the junk box. Because this time, to those with an L postcode and the many flocking from beyond the borders, there was an inexorable party in town. And they were all here to attend, with or without an invite.

Ibrahima Konate reveals ‘crazy’ Arne Slot quality key to Liverpool’s triumph
12:15 , Richard JollyIbrahima Konate said it is “crazy” how humble Arne Slot was after winning the Premier League title in his debut year at Liverpool.
And the defender, whose contract at Anfield expires next year, suggested trophies will be a factor in his decision of what to do as he said he will only remember what he has won when he retires.
“We have to be happy. I saw him on the pitch and he didn't really want to take the praise, he walked behind us and it's crazy to be humble like that. OK, we are on the pitch and we run and do everything but he has done a lot as well for us. Thanks to him, thanks to the fans.”
Konate has been in contract talks with Liverpool but has yet to put pen to paper on an extended deal and said: “This is a conversation with the club and we will see.”

Mohamed Salah delivers on promise
11:45 , Will CastleLast season, Mohamed Salah vowed to do “everything possible” to bring success back to Anfield.
Well Mo, you delivered on that promise. And with 46 goal contributions in 34 Premier League games, you weren’t half at the heart of it all.
We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season. Our fans deserve it and we will fight like hell. pic.twitter.com/HU98ACVr6q

Liverpool fans react to their title triumph
11:15 , Will CastleWhich Liverpool players will - and potentially won't - win a Premier League winners' medal?
11:00 , Harry Latham-CoyleThere are currently 21 Liverpool players in line to receive a Premier League winners’ medal by default. However, there is one notable absentee from that list.
Premier League rules state that any individual to have made five or more appearances in the trophy-winning league campaign must be given one of the 40 commemorative medals given to the champions.
Federico Chiesa has not yet met that criteria. The summer signing from Juventus has battled injury in his first season on Merseyside and struggled to force his way consistently into Arne Slot’s forward line - only making four league appearances, all off the bench, so far.
It may be that the Italian is granted the silver token anyway: the 40 medals can be distributed to the manager, players and officials as the successful club see fit, provided every player to have made five Premier League appearances receives one.

Liverpool's dominance at the top
10:30 , Will CastleFrom about February, Liverpool’s title never seemed in doubt.
The Reds are phenomenal value for their triumph, having spent 206 days at the top of the Premier League.
That’s 165 days more than any other side managed this season, with Man City spending a comparatively measly 41 at the pinnacle before enduring a mammoth slip.
Dominance.
Arne Slot has joined an elite class of managers to win the Premier League in their first season.
- Jose Mourinho - Chelsea 2004/05
- Carlo Ancelotti - Chelsea 2009/10
- Manuel Pellegrini - Manchester City 2013/14
- Antonio Conte - Chelsea 2016/17
- Arne Slot - Liverpool 2024/25
Legacy stuff.
Five years on from the 'Covid title', Liverpool do their Premier League triumph right
10:12 , Will CastleFive years ago, Liverpool ended their 30-year wait to win a Premier League title. However, they won it in front of no-one.
It never felt quite right - the moment didn’t do the decades of struggle and their remarkable rejuvenation justice.
But yesterday, Liverpool finally got the title they had dreamed of. Celebrated with their own fans in front of a packed-out Anfield, it was perfection.

The two simple statistics that prove Liverpool’s title win is simply not about ‘luck’
09:28 , Miguel DelaneyIf Liverpool can finally be called English champions again, you can’t really repeat the old line that they’re back on their perch.
They’re now on a pedestal. They can look down on the rest of the Premier League from high above, finally free to celebrate amid the certainty of victory.
There is also an even better view from that vantage point, that has been surprisingly underplayed in this long run to the title.
This is Liverpool’s 20th, matching the record of their great rivals Manchester United.

'Nothing compares' to celebrating with fans says Robertson
09:20 , Mike JonesAndy Robertson echoed Mo Salah’s thoughts that this Premier League title win was better than Liverpool’s triumph in 2020 because they experienced it with their fans.
"The last time we won it was a stranger time, but I suppose we kind of got that feeling against Manchester United at home. It [wasn’t] quite clinching it and then obviously the world paused," he said.
"We enjoyed it, of course we did, but you can't beat what we experienced today and how we went to the ground and the fans during and after the game.
“Nothing quite compares to that and I'm glad we got to experience it that way as well."

Will Liverpool receive a guard of honour – and is it compulsory for Arsenal?
'Liverpool are worthy champions'
08:53 , Mike JonesTottenham manager Ange Postecoglou paid respect to Liverpool following his team’s defeat on Sunday and claimed that Arne Slot’s men are ‘worthy champions’
He said: “Credit to Liverpool. They’re worthy champions and they’ve been the outstanding team all year, consistent.
“I thought we started the game well and made things difficult for them but once they got in front, with the atmosphere in the stadium, it’s fair to say it was going to be difficult for us to claw them back, and that’s how it proved.”
'An amazing Premier League season'
08:47 , Mike JonesLiverpool captain Virgil Van Dijk praised his team’s consistency throughout the season when celebrating yesterday.
The Dutch defender said: “It’s been an amazing Premier League season for us – very consistent, well-deserved winners.
“The reaction that we showed after going 1–0 down was outstanding.
“The time went very slowly towards the end but I’m glad we got the job done.”

'Slot has improved Liverpool' says Redknapp
08:33 , Mike JonesArne Slot has improved the Liverpool team left behind from Jurgen Klopp claimed Jamie Redknapp following their title-clinching win over Spurs on Sunday.
The former Liverpool player said: “I enjoy how they play through the lines, how Gravenberch can receive the ball on the half-turn and drive with it.
“You've got players like Mac Allister and Szoboszlai, or whoever comes in there, Jones, they're a joy in that respect.
"He's improved players, you look at what he's done with Mo Salah, he's given him a new lease of life.”
Liverpool's top-flight winning managers
08:27 , Mike JonesArne Slot joins the ranks of Liverpool managers who have won the top-flight league title.
He is the 10th man to successfully achieve the feat but has a long way to go to emulate Liverpool’s most successful boss in Bob Paisley.
Here’s a list of Liverpool’s title-winning managers and the number of times they took top spot in the league:
6 - Bob Paisley (1975-76, 1976-77, 1978-79, 1979-80, 1981-82, 1982-83)
3 - Bill Shankly (1963-64, 1965-66, 1972-73), Kenny Dalglish (1985-86, 1987-88, 1989-90)
2 - Tom Watson (1900-01, 1905-06)
1 - David Ashworth (1921-22), Matt McQueen (1922-23), George Kay (1946-47), Joe Fagan (1983-84), Jurgen Klopp (2019-20), Arne Slot (2024-25)

Slot praises Klopp
08:11 , Mike JonesThe Liverpool manager was also full of praise for his predecessor, Jurgen Klopp, and revealed he had spoken to the German throughout the season.
"Many moments in this season the two of us had either WhatsApp contact or we spoke to each other,” Slot said.
"So I think he showed last season when he said farewell what kind of a human being he is by introducing me the way he did.
"That, of course helped, but the thing that helped the most was that he left a team behind that was able to win a trophy."
'The fans were so supportive'
08:06 , Mike JonesLiverpool manager Arne Slot spoke after yesterday’s win over Tottenham and praised the fans for their support throughout the season.
The Dutchman said: "The moment when we arrived with the bus, everybody could feel that we were never, never going to lose this game.
"The fans were so supportive before the game, during the game that even when we were 1-0 down you could feel that these fans and this team were able to get this one over the line."
'What Slot has done is remarkable'
08:01 , Mike JonesDaniel Sturridge led the tributes to Liverpool manager Arne Slot following the Reds’ victory over Tottenham on Sunday.
Speaking on Sky Sports the former Liverpool striker said:
“To come in and follow a big manager who's been so successful and adored by the fanbase.
“He's come in and stamped his authority on it. What he's done in such a short space of time has been remarkable.
"The expectation wasn't that they would be here now. Doing it with four games to spare is special.”
Arne Slot repays Jurgen Klopp’s favour after Liverpool title triumph – but now he’ll want more
07:55 , Richard JollyBriefly, Arne Slot seemed to lose himself in the moment. A red Liverpool shirt on top of the smart-casual blue outfit he has donned, with great predictability, for every match, he was jumping up and down in front of the Kop. Yet while Anfield chorused his name, he wanted to hear that of another.
A thoughtful man had his predecessor in his mind and, when he took the microphone, a favour was returned and repaid. A year ago, Jurgen Klopp took his leave by chanting about Slot. He was not a handpicked replacement nor an old ally, but Klopp has long had the power to persuade people. He often used it in the right way.
And, 11 months on, Slot celebrated a Premier League title win by singing about Klopp; not particularly tunefully, but meaningfully.

Liverpool seal Premier League title with Tottenham thrashing – and Anfield gets its crowning moment in the sun
07:51 , Richard JollyThe banner in the Kop borrowed from the words Virgil van Dijk used when signing his new contract. “It was always Liverpool,” it read. And over a season, it was. Even on a day when they briefly trailed, it was always going to be Liverpool. This was a coronation rather than a contest, the culmination of a wonderful debut season for Arne Slot.
The chants of “we’re going to win the league” were scarcely bold predictions but became factually accurate when Thomas Bramall blew the final whistle, when the substituted players spilled on to the pitch, when Arne Slot and his staff bounced around in a group hug, when Mohamed Salah took selfies with the Kop, Dominik Szoboszlai hung off the crossbar and jubilation engulfed Liverpool.

How Arne Slot reinvented Liverpool to become champions without a single major signing
07:45 , Richard JollyAfter Jurgen Klopp had dropped his bombshell, when Liverpool were assessing the contenders to replace him, several aspects of Arne Slot’s record counted in his favour.
There was the reputation for over-performing, for exceeding his targets. The Feyenoord head coach had won a historic club just their second league title of the 21st century.
Slot was not initially the favourite – externally, anyway – for the Liverpool job. Nor were Liverpool the favourites to become champions after his appointment. Just their second league title of the 21st century has followed after he overperformed again; the club set him the objective of qualifying for the Champions League.

Good morning!
07:42 , Mike JonesLiverpool are the new Premier League champions having taken the title away from Manchester City with a 5-1 victory over Tottenham on Sunday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s men secured their second title win in five years with a superb run of form at the start of the year and have led the rest of the league for 206 days before finally claiming the win that makes their title win inevitable.
Goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah kick started the celebrations at a sold out Anfield as pundits, players and managers from around the Premier League congratulated the Reds on their achievement.
We’ll have the latest reaction and analysis from Liverpool’s title win throughout the day so please stick around.
