Inside Anfield - Liverpool title celebrations and party

Mohamed Salah drops to his knees, praises the heavens and kisses the turf, Arne Slot and his coaching staff huddle on the touchline and bounce up and down, while Diogo Jota pulls his shirt over his face, unable to hold back the emotions.

A few moments later, Ryan Gravenberch can be seen jumping about with a giant cardboard cutout of the Premier League trophy, while Alisson Becker and Andy Robertson turn their attention to a collection of ball-boys in the goalmouth of the Kop End as an impromptu outpouring of joy begins.

Alexis Mac Allister unfurls a banner paying homage to the La Pampa province of his native Argentina, Michael Edwards reserves an embrace for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Slot can be seen taking the acclaim from officials of Fenway Sports Group, the club's owners.

This is Anfield, it's edging towards 6.30pm on Sunday evening, and this is one of this famous old venue's most celebrated days.

It's unclear exactly why Ms Pizzuti, wife of principal owner John Henry, was lending an extra pair hands, but it just added to the unique feel to proceedings on the day.

"That is so so special [to make history here]," Slot said in his post-match press conference.

Now to be part of the history of this club is something I could only have dreamt of two three four years ago.

"Four, five or six years ago was the first time I was here, it was against Tottenham, Pep Lijnders invited me and they won that game 4-0 and we all know what happened around Tottenham one or two years ago (when Slot was linked with the job), now to win it against them is a special day."

In the post-match mixed zone where the players interact with reporters, the club's principal owner John W Henry can be seen alongside wife Linda and FSG president Mike Gordon, who was formerly the most hands-on of the ownership group prior to Edwards's rehiring last year as FSG's CEO of football.

Requests for interviews were politely declined, with the Boston board keen to let the words be spoken by Slot, Virgil van Dijk and the rest of the playing staff who conducted their usual post-match chats.

Asked specifically about his embrace with Reds owner Henry, Slot said: "He probably said 'congratulations', I don’t remember exactly what he said, but it was special for them as well to be part of this moment.

"For them to trust me in this position, maybe now everyone says it makes complete sense.

It must be a special time for them, second time in five years they win the league also and now in front of fans is special for everyone."

Slot was speaking shortly after he had chatted on the pitch with LFCTV's Peter McDowall, where he took the opportunity to thank former boss Jurgen Klopp for the squad that was bequeathed to him when he arrived at the start of last summer.

Eleven months after Klopp had implored the Anfield faithful to get behind the new man unwaveringly by changing the lyrics of the song sung in his honour to all but confirm Slot's arrival as the new head coach, the new Premier League-winning boss was repaying the compliment, belting out the name of his predecessor to complete a full-circle moment.

It was a special day and one that won't be forgotten by anyone who had the privilege of being in attendance as Liverpool celebrated being champions of England in front of their supporters for the first time in 35 years.

Such is the joy of what has developed into a wondrous campaign at Anfield, though, that it will surely be eclipsed between May 25 and 26 when the trophy is hoisted aloft and the parade brings the city region to a standstill the following day.
