Liverpool have won the Premier League for the second time with the Reds being confirmed as champions after their 5-1 thumping of Tottenham.

The Reds have secured their 20th league title, moving level with long-time rivals Manchester United for top-flight titles in the process, with four games still to play.

Goals from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, as well as an own goal from Destiny Udogie saw Liverpool claim a comfortable win.

Dominic Solanke had given Spurs an early lead but they were pegged back just four minutes later.

Diaz's equaliser was followed by a stunning goal from Mac Allister in the 24th minute.

Gakpo then added to the turnaround with a third goal in 18 minutes during the first half.

Salah then added further gloss to the scoreline shortly after the hour mark.

The Egyptian winger grabbed his 28th goal of the season as he got in on the act.

Salah's strike is his 185th in the Premier League, meaning he's moved ahead of Sergio Aguero in the competition's goalscoring charts with only four players (Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Andy Cole) ahead of him.

The 32-year-old has been directly involved in 272 Premier League goals, more than Man United legend Ryan Giggs in 335 fewer appearances.

A sea of red around the stadium welcomed the players prior to kick-off, with supporters singing and setting off flares.

Those fans were given the result they needed to continue the party inside the stadium.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners are now 17 points adrift in second place and no longer able to overturn the deficit.

It is Liverpool's first title since winning the Premier League under Jurgen Klopp in 2019/20.

The victory comes in Slot's debut season in charge after replacing Klopp last summer.

His side have lost just twice in 34 league matches this season on their way to a record-equalling title.
