For the past month or so, it has been clear that Liverpool has no competitors in the title race, that Arsenal has practically given up, but the math clearly said that it's not over until it's really over.
Not everything was resolved last weekend, but now it's really over - a point was enough for the giants from the city of the Beatles to secure the title, and they won all three against Tottenham (5:1) and responded to the spectacular atmosphere at "Anfield" with a spectacular game for the 20th crown in their glorious history.
The match did not start well for the new champions, Spurs took the lead in the 12th minute through Dominic Solanke, but then a "red wave" was seen, and only Arne Slott's team was in the game until the end. As, after all, in a large number of Premier League matches this season, this title is as clean as a tear...
Liverpool scored three goals between the 16th and 34th minutes (Luis Diaz, Alexis McAllister and Cody Gakpo), giving the fans a real boost at halftime for the second half, and then a big celebration on the streets of the city.
Because, for this moment - to celebrate the title in front of its fans - Liverpool has been waiting for 35 years, because in 2020 there were no spectators in the stands due to the coronavirus pandemic.
And as the match continued, the home team's dominance was even more pronounced, with Mohamed Salah making it 4:1, clearly proving that a day like this cannot go by without his signature.
He scored his 185th goal and became the top scorer among foreigners in the English elite.
The match was largely decided, but Slot's machine seemed to have just started to heat up, so the chances in front of the London team's goal were seen in practically every attack.
One of them was converted into a fifth goal when Italian defender Destini Judoji scored into his own net.
Liverpool has conceded 11 goals to Tottenham in two matches this season, as they won 6:3 in the December duel in London.
