Arne Slot sang Jurgen Klopp's name as he was soaked in champagne by his players following Liverpool's victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The Reds were confirmed as Premier League champions with the win at Anfield, equalling Manchester United's record of 20 league titles.

It's a remarkable achievement for Slot, who took over the reins from Jurgen Klopp last summer.



After adding just one player to their ranks in the summer transfer window, Slot has won the league in his first season in England with pretty much the same squad he inherited from Klopp.

Slot was quick to recognise the foundations that had been built by Klopp, with the ex-Feyenoord boss taking the microphone and singing his predecessor's name during the midst of Liverpool's title celebrations.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Slot said: "It was clear we couldn't lose this game.

Let's forget it's the second in 35 years, it's the second in five years."
