Liverpool were crowned English Premier League champions for a record 20th time on Sunday and celebrated at home. They sealed the English Premier League title after beating Tottenham 5-1 at Anfield. Liverpool are certain to win the league title with four games to go.
Arne Slott's team needed just one point to win the title. Liverpool now have 82 points and are 15 ahead of second-placed Arsenal. Now, with the same results as the rest of the league, nobody can overtake Liverpool. Liverpool celebrated their first home title since 1990.
Along with this, Liverpool has equaled the record of traditional rival Manchester United who won the title 20 times in England. Tottenham took the lead in the 12th minute with Dominic Solanki's goal. But it was only momentary. Luis Diaz equalized in the 16th minute. Since then, it has been unilaterally in favor of Liverpool. Alex McAllister gave Liverpool the lead in the 24th minute.
Cody Gakpo scored Liverpool's third goal in the 34th minute. Mohamed Salah scored in the 63rd minute of the second half to break his brief goal drought. Destiny Udogi's own goal in the 69th minute extended Liverpool's lead. Liverpool won the title for the last time during the corona virus epidemic.
Before that, Bournemouth and Manchester United, limited to ten players, played a 1-1 draw in Sunday's first match. Rasmus Hojlund scored the equalizer in second half injury time for United and the team managed to collect a point. Earlier, Antony Semenyo took the lead with the help of a goal scored in the 23rd minute. The
game reached the 70th minute when Bournemouth lost Evanilsson to a red card. After this result, Bournemouth finished tenth on 50 points. The draw also dealt a major blow to Bournemouth's chances of playing in Europe next season. United is in 14th place with 39 points.
