Liverpool celebrated winning the Premier League title with a fun and emotional final game of the season.
Even though they didn’t win, a late goal by Mohamed Salah helped them finish with a 1–1 draw against Crystal Palace.
Early Lead for Palace
Liverpool tried to fight back, but the Palace goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, made some great saves.
A Tough Game for Liverpool
Liverpool went down to 10 players in the 68th minute when Ryan Gravenberch was shown a red card.
Still, the team didn’t give up. In the 84th minute, Cody Gakpo set up Mohamed Salah, who scored the equalizer.
Salah Breaks Records
That goal gave Salah a total of 29 goals and 18 assists this season – the most goal involvements (47) in a 38-game Premier League season.
He also won the GoldenBoot for being the league’s top scorer.
A Day to Celebrate
The day wasn’t just about the game. It was also a big party for fans.
Red smoke flares filled the streets outside the stadium, and everyone was excited.
Crystal Palace players showed respect by giving Liverpool a guard of honour before the match started.
Liverpool then returned the gesture to Palace, who recently won the FA Cup.
It was also a special moment for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who played his final game for Liverpool and received cheers from the fans.
Former manager Jurgen Klopp, who helped Liverpool win many trophies, was also at Anfield to watch the celebration.
