The first-place finish brings Liverpool level with Manchester United on the most league wins, which Carragher described as “one of the most celebrated equalisers in Anfield history”.
Liverpool once held an 18-7 lead in that particular record at the start of the 1990s, before Sir Alex Ferguson’s 13 wins without response established United as the league’s hegemonic force.
That has all changed now, the Reds Devils are currently 35 points off Liverpool, and have struggled to compete with the country’s top teams since Ferguson’s departure in 2013.
“In winning the Premier League at his first attempt, Arne Slot has scored one of the most celebrated equalisers in Anfield history; Liverpool can proudly call themselves record title-winners again,” Carragher wrote in his Telegraph column.
It was during Carragher’s time as a Liverpool player that United won 13 championships without response from the Reds, a pain which makes today’s triumphs taste even sweeter.
“One of my lowest points as a player was in May 2009, when United pipped us to the title to match Liverpool’s 18th,” Carragher reflected
United’s fans revelled in it, too.
“Shortly before my final game for Liverpool in 2013, United won their 20th,” Carragher added
