‘I’m speechless’, says local boy Jones as Liverpool seal title
“I don’t think I even need to speak, you can hear [the atmosphere] now! This is what helps us all the time, it gets us through games. For the fans, our family, as you can hear, wow!” said Jones, who joined Liverpool’s academy at the age of nine before signing his first professional contract with the club in February 2018.
“I can’t even speak. I don’t have a word, I’m speechless. I’m a Scouse lad, I’ve come all the way through. I play more games now, I’ve helped the team, I’m just taking it all in.”
Leicester have not scored a single goal at home since December as nine consecutive defeats at the King Power have taken Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men down.
A Liverpool cruise seemed in store when Mohamed Salah hit both posts with a glorious chance inside the first two minutes.
But after storming clear of the chasing pack in Slot’s early months in charge to build a near-unassailable lead, Liverpool have slowed in recent weeks as the finish line approaches
Wilfred Ndidi came close to ending Leicester’s barren run with a low strike that came back off the post.
Liverpool struggled to create from open play in what remained of the first half.
Ibrahima Konate came closest to breaking the deadlock when Ndidi hooked clear his goal-bound header from a corner.
The visitors upped the tempo at the start of the second period. Kostas Tsimikas should have done better when he fired straight at Mads Hermansen.
At the other end, Leicester did finally have the ball in the net, but Patson Daka had fouled Alisson Becker before Conor Coady headed into an unguarded net.
Slot introduced Alexander-Arnold for the final 20 minutes on his return from a five-week absence due to an ankle injury.
The right-back took just five minutes to score his 23rd and potentially last goal for his boyhood club.
Salah and Diogo Jota somehow contrived to hit the woodwork rather than the net from point-blank range as Leicester struggled to clear a corner.
The loose ball broke to Alexander-Arnold, whose shot went straight through the grasp of Hermansen.
Alexander-Arnold ripped off his shirt in a wild celebration in front of the Liverpool fans.
Unlike Salah and captain Virgil van Dijk, who have signed new contracts to remain at Liverpool for the next two years, the England international still seems set to depart after reportedly agreeing to the terms of a free transfer move to Real Madrid.
Alexander-Arnold refused to talk about his Liverpool future when speaking to Sky Sports after the game.
Leicester, meanwhile, have had a season to forget. Champions of England just nine years ago, the Foxes have found life back in the top flight far too much of a step up in class after romping to the Championship title last season.
Defender Coady told Sky Sports that the players were “devastated” by the relegation.
“If we look at today, I thought we played and we nullified Liverpool quite well, they’re a world-class side,” he said.
“But if we look back at the season, it hasn’t been anywhere near good enough from a club point of view. We have to look at ourselves in the mirror.”
Leicester join Southampton, whose relegation was confirmed with a record seven games to go, in an immediate return to the second tier.
Ipswich, who are 15 points adrift with five games to go, are set to follow as for the second consecutive season all three promoted sides will fail to avoid the drop.
Earlier on Sunday, Arsenal cantered to a 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town, with Leandro Trossard scoring twice and the hosts’ Leif Davis sent off for a dangerous tackle on Bukayo Saka.
Meanwhile, Manchester United slumped to a 15th Premier League loss of the season as Wolverhampton Wanderers snatched a 1-0 win at Old Trafford thanks to Pablo Sarabia’s late free kick on Sunday.Wolves secured their place in the Premier League with their fifth consecutive Premier League under Vitor Pereira lifting them up to 15th and level on points with United, who stay 14th on goal difference.Chelsea moved up to fifth by rallying to beat Fulham 2-1 with two late goals.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk says winning the Premier League title is an achievement the club would never take for granted after the Merseysiders thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 to secure a 20th top-flight crown in front of a roaring Anfield.
Liverpool’s victory on Sunday gave Arne Slot’s side an unassailable 15-point lead over second-placed Arsenal with four games left in the season as they clinched the title for only the second time in the Premier League era
“It’s special, and it’s something that we don’t take for granted. It’s amazing what today was,” van Dijk told Sky Sports as the players took a lap of honour around Anfield.
“A lot of emotions before the game, during the whole week. We got the job done, and we truly deserve to be champions of England.
“[It’s] the most beautiful club in the world. I think we deserve all of this. Let’s enjoy the next couple of weeks and let it sink in.”
Liverpool first lifted the Premier League trophy five years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic when the fans were not allowed inside the stadium to celebrate their first league title in 30 years.
“Yeah, I was desperate for them [to be here], of course, for all the fans around the world, for the fans here, but for us as well,” van Dijk said.
“We got two Premier League trophies in five years, so that’s still a good achievement.”

Liverpool have set ‘really high standards’ – Robertson
“We had a bit of a scare, but it was a fantastic performance. We’ve set really high standards,” Robertson said.
“People say the league isn’t as good as it was, but it’s nonsense. We’ve tried so hard to be so consistent and that’s why we’re so far ahead and win it with so many games to spare.”
“We focus now on Crystal Palace to get our hands on the trophy,” he said, referring to their final game of the season.
“It was what [Slot] said in his first week: ‘We finished third last season, I want to finish first this one.’ We all got right behind it.”
Liverpool had also thrashed Spurs 6-3 in the reverse fixture in December, and as a sea of red welcomed the team bus at Anfield, Slot said they could not let their fans down with the title within their grasp.
