Liverpool roared back from a goal behind to thrash Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 and wrap up the Premier League title in style on a momentous day at a sun-drenched Anfield on Sunday.

Liverpool waited 30 years and then won the Premier League during a pandemic. Now they've won again and they can finally celebrate.

Some three hours earlier, red smoke outside heralded the arrival of the new champions. Manchester City’s four-year reign was ended in the Merseyside sun. Liverpool have not merely been the best team this season. They have been the most consistent and the most reliable. An event that some had waited decades to experience delivered what it promised.
