Hundreds of thousands of supporters lined the streets to support Liverpool FC’s title. It was the 20th league title, tying Manchester United’s record for most titles in the Premier League.
Mohamed Salah scored the tying goal against Crystal Palace in the 84th minute. That came after a Ryan Gravenberch red card in the 68th minute.
“Last time it was in the pandemic, which wasn’t a great feeling but still a Premier League,” Salah told Sky Sports. “To win the second one with the fans at Anfield, first the Spurs game and now today, you can see how much it means.”
