It was the perfect ending to a special season for Liverpool.
Their star player, Mohamed Salah, made sure fans had something to cheer about in the final minutes of the match against Crystal Palace.
With only six minutes left, Salah scored his 29th goal of the season, helping Liverpool avoid a loss.
Salah’s amazing performance this season, including 18 assists, earned him the Premier League Golden Boot for the fourth time — tying the record held by famous player Thierry Henry.
He also tied the record for the most goals and assists in one season, matching Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.
Former player Ellen White praised Salah, saying, “He didn’t let contract talks distract him. He just kept getting better!”
A Big Celebration at Anfield
Liverpool fans had waited a long time for this moment.
The last time they won the league in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic meant fans couldn’t attend games.
But this time, Anfield was packed, and fans were ready to party!
Before the game, the streets were full of cheering fans wearing red.
Even Crystal Palace fans, whose team had just won the FA Cup, were in a celebratory mood.
In a touching moment, both teams gave each other a “guard of honour” to show respect.
Even when Palace scored first, Liverpool fans didn’t stop singing.
And when Salah tied the game 1-1, the stadium exploded with cheers — it felt like a victory.
Liverpool’s new manager, Arne Slot, said, “You play for your team and your fans. Today showed how special these fans are.”
A Tearful Goodbye for Alexander-Arnold
Another emotional moment came when Trent Alexander-Arnold played his final game for Liverpool.
He came on at halftime to huge applause, even though he had been booed weeks earlier after announcing he would leave the club.
After the game, he was clearly emotional as he hugged teammates and received the Premier League trophy. “I’ve never felt so loved,” he said. “This was the best day of my life.”
Manager Arne Slot added, “He played incredibly well. We wanted to give him a great send-off.”
What’s Next for Liverpool?
Now that Alexander-Arnold is leaving, Liverpool is expected to sign more players.
They are already looking at Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen.
