Liverpool confirmed as Premier League champions

Image
 Liverpool 5 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur Liverpool were crowned Premier League champions emphatically and drew level with Manchester United on 20 league titles, as Tottenham Hotspur were swept aside on a day of high emotion and celebration at Anfield. Author - William G Stadium - Anfield Arne Slot’s side needed only a point to secure the title, but Spurs briefly hinted at a surprise when former Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke nodded them into an early lead. That jolt served only to rouse Liverpool. The title was effectively secured before half-time, with three goals that sent an expectant Anfield into raptures at the culmination of Slot’s remarkable debut season following the departure of JĂĽrgen Klopp. Luis DĂ­az levelled after 16 minutes, turning in Dominik Szoboszlai’s pass from close range. The goal was awarded after a brief VAR check overturned an initial offside call against the Hungarian. READ MORE: How the Premier League was won Any remaining nerves were settled eight minutes...

Real Madrid are La Liga champions once again.  They wrapped up the title by defeating Cadiz 3-0 at the Bernabeu before they watched Barcelona lose 4-2 at Girona. Ultimately, this has been an impressively dominant campaign for Carlo Ancelotti's men. They have lost just once all season, at local rivals Atletico Madrid in September, and are also unbeaten in their last 28 league games. Against Cadiz, Brahim Diaz starred for Real Madrid. The former Manchester City winger scored an impressive goal by firing into the top corner from just inside the box in the 51st minute. S few minutes later, Jude Bellingham doubled Real's lead by ghosting into the box and poking home from close range.  Joselu then sealed a comfortable victory in added time with a tap-in. Nacho raced through into the box and squared the ball for his teammate to finish with ease. Another excellent performance. When the match finished, they were only a few hours away from being champions officially. You can ...
