With Diaz, McAllister, Gakpo and Salah scoring, Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 in the 34th round of the 2024/25 Premier League, winning the Premier League title ahead of schedule. Liverpool striker Gakpo said the team had put in a lot of effort this season and hoped to go further in the future.
In the 12th minute of the game, Maddison assisted Solanke with a header from a corner kick, helping Tottenham Hotspur take the lead 1-0. Only 4 minutes later, Soboslai received Salah's diagonal pass and passed it to the front of the goal. Diaz fell to the ground and shot into the goal, tying the score for Liverpool 1-1.
In the 24th minute, Liverpool continued to create offensive opportunities. Gravenberch was knocked down after taking possession of the ball. McAllister, who was at the top of the penalty area, immediately responded and shot from a distance, helping Liverpool to overtake 2 to 1. In the 34th minute, McAllister took a corner kick, and Gakpo got the ball and pushed the ball past the defense to score, helping Liverpool to continue to lead Tottenham Hotspur 3 to 1.
In the 63rd minute of the second half, Soboslai assisted Salah to score, helping Liverpool to expand their lead to 4 to 1. In the 69th minute, Tottenham Hotspur defender Udogi accidentally kicked the ball into his own goal while dealing with Salah's clearance, allowing Liverpool to make the score 5 to 1.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield and successfully secured the Premier League title four rounds in advance.
Gakpo, who has contributed 9 goals for Liverpool in the Premier League so far this season, said, "It's really great. We have worked hard this season. Although we have experienced ups and downs in the Champions League, it is wonderful to win this championship. Everyone has seen the influence of Dutch players. Van Dijk came here very early, but this season Gravenberch also played the performance we were familiar with in the Netherlands, and he brought this performance here."
"It's exciting to see him perform like this, and of course the coach has taken the team to another level tactically, which I think is very suitable for the characteristics of the players we have now. Hopefully we can go further in the next few years. This is a good start."
McAllister, who also scored in this game, said: "To be able to win the World Cup and now the Premier League is a very special achievement. I enjoy it very much, but without my teammates, none of this would be possible. They are the most important to me. I am just one piece of the puzzle."
"This team is really good, and we showed that last season, but ultimately fell short. This season we have improved significantly, and this is a special moment, and I hope everyone can enjoy this victory."
In addition, goalkeeper Alisson, who won the Premier League title for the second time in his career at Liverpool, said, "It's really hard to express it in words. It means so much. My heart is full of emotions. I am really moved. So many things flashed through my mind. We have made a lot of sacrifices and faced many challenges, such as changing coaches and injuries. Personally, I suffered serious injuries this season and concussion."
"But it was great to win the game in this way, in front of our home fans, and we played so well. It would have been even better if we could have lifted the trophy, but even so, it was still a special moment."
