It sealed Liverpool\u2019s second Premier League title and their first in five years.<br \/>Slot\u2019s men have been firm favourites to reclaim the crown for months, combining relentless attacking football with defensive solidity. On Sunday, they completed the job in style, treating Anfield to a sparkling display befitting the occasion.<br \/>Unlike their 2019-20 triumph, which was marred by the Covid-19 pandemic and played out behind closed doors, this title was celebrated amid a sea of red at a packed Anfield. Five years ago, Liverpool fans were denied the chance to witness their heroes lift the trophy in person due to restrictions, but this time, the scenes of jubilation were unforgettable.<br \/>With four games still left to play, Liverpool have the chance to extend their points tally and further stamp their dominance on what has been a remarkable campaign. <br \/>The triumph also sees Liverpool draw level with <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/manchester-united\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Manchester United<\/a>\u2019s all-time record of 20 English top-flight titles, rekindling the historic rivalry between the two most successful clubs in England&#8217;s football history.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
