Virgil van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain lead wild Liverpool celebrations after Willian goal

Liverpool's players were gathered together to watch Chelsea beat Manchester City on Thursday night.

And footage of celebrations have emerged on social media.

This is because for the first time in 30 years the Reds have been crowned Premier League champions as second-placed Man City couldn't get the result required to extend the title race for another few days.

Christian Pulisic gave the Blues a 1-0 half-time lead which was cancelled out by Kevin De Bruyne's stunning free-kick early in the second half.

But Willian's successful penalty sealed all three points for the hosts.

And it was that goal which captured most of the Liverpool squad.

A clip has emerged of Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alisson Becker celebrating after Willian's penalty found the back of the net.

Take a look at video which has been uploaded to Twitter by @SamanthaQuek.

Speaking to Sky Sports after Wednesday night's game, Reds defender Trent Alexander-Arnold wasn't expecting any favours from the Blues.

"We have to focus on ourselves and not take things for granted," he said.

"We are not really hoping that City will lose or drop points we are just focused on ourselves and we know it is in our hands."
