Liverpool Thrash Spurs 5-1 to Clinch 2025 Premier League Title
Liverpool's 5-1 win over Tottenham secures their 20th league title, equaling Manchester United's record.
Liverpool secured their record-equalling 20th English top-flight championship with a dominant 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on April 27, 2025, under first-season manager Arne Slot. The win gave them an unassailable 15-point lead with four games remaining and sparked jubilant in-stadium celebrations for the first time since 2020.
Match Details
Tottenham took the lead in the 12th minute when Dominic Solanke headed in at the far post. Four minutes later, Luis Díaz restored parity with a low strike across goal, igniting a fierce response from Liverpool.
Alexis Mac Allister put the hosts ahead in the 24th minute with a composed finish into the bottom corner. Cody Gakpo doubled the advantage six minutes before half-time, converting a clever cut-back to send Anfield into full voice at the interval.
In the second half, Mohamed Salah ended his six-game scoring drought in the 63rd minute, dispatching a deflected effort from close range. Moments later, a Spurs defender’s own goal completed the emphatic 5-1 scoreline and confirmed Liverpool as champions.
Key Performances
Luis Díaz
Díaz’s early equaliser and constant threat down the left flank earned him Man of the Match honours, as he combined pace, trickery and end product to unsettle the Spurs defence throughout.
Mohamed Salah
Salah’s return to the scoresheet underlined his enduring quality. His 63rd-minute goal marked his 28th league strike of the season, cementing his role as Liverpool’s talisman in the title charge.
Title Significance
This triumph marked Liverpool’s second Premier League title since 1992 and their 20th English top-flight crown overall, drawing them level with Manchester United’s all-time record. Under Slot’s guidance, Liverpool lost only twice in 34 league outings, demonstrating remarkable consistency.
Looking Ahead
With four fixtures remaining, Liverpool will seek to maintain momentum as they prepare for domestic and European challenges next season. Tottenham, meanwhile, must regroup quickly if they are to salvage hopes of a top-four finish.
