It was so long ago when Liverpool last won the title at Anfield, that their fans had transistor radios glued to their ears.

Those events were 35 years ago on Monday and the atmosphere outside Anfield on Sunday, even three hours before kick-off, was incredible.

One fan was selling flares, while others were offering snaps with pathetic-looking Premier League trophy replicas.



But the fun resumed four minutes later when Luis Diaz’s strike was ruled onside by VAR and Anfield erupted.

The noise levels went up another few decibels when the excellent Alexis MacAllister fired Liverpool ahead before Cody Gakpo netted just after the half hour mark.

“Hand it over Manchester,” sang the fans and they knew the title was heading back to Anfield for a record-equalling 20th time.

With the game and title won, the Kop became a giant jukebox, playing all the best Reds tunes and they belted out “Ee, aye, addio, we’re going to win the league” and “Arne Slot, na, naa, na, na, na”.

It was fitting when Mohamed Salah cut in front the left to score the fourth, with his 33rd goal of the season and his 27th in the Premier League, and no player has contributed more than him to Liverpool’s success.

Salah fell to his knees and kissed the ground at the final whistle as Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa’s ‘One Kiss’ belted out.

Fireworks went off behind the Kop into the clear blue sky and the best Liverpool title party for 35 years started.
